Went to a bike night last night bike ran great going. When I left let her warm up a bit died when warming it up. She started right back up so I started home. About 2 blocks she quit again. She starts to pop and fart won't go over 3000 rpm then just cuts out. It does restart and idle ok. I tried to just limp without to much power but she will die anyway. None of the lights go out at all when this happens and no lights come on on the spedo at all. I replaced the crank sensor last year.
Is there a cam sensor and is it a hd part. Definitely feels like ignition is cutting out.
Thanks in advance

I had this issue happen on my Mastiff a long time ago. I'd try loosening your gas cap a little and see if that helps. You dont have a cam sensor on your scoot you have a crank sensor and they dont go out too often. Try the simple fix first... :D

Check battery connections, another thing check high and low beam. See if your grounding out system in head light bucket. I had a similar problem but it was the ignition switch grounding out.

Take a timing light to a plug wire, tape the gun to the bars, tape the trigger down so you can see the timing light cutout, then yes, it's ignition.

What's his name will come along shortly and will mention the gas cap. If you have a headache, check the gas cap. What's for lunch? Check the gas cap. Yeah, that guy. LOL

So working on the Inter Jet (under 3K rpm) is fine and then over 3K rpm goes tits up, right?

It seems like she's starving for fuel... Check for crap in the Carburetor/Jets, etc. just a thought...

Keep us posted on your findings.

:cheers:

I had a stalling problem, ended up being a ground wire that connected to battery that went to computer. It was broken just behind connection at battery, but because of how tight thing were it was hard to find until I started to remove battery wires. I put new end on and ran fine.

What happened is your gas cap isn't venting so the tank wasn't allowning the gas to flow so, you starved out the scoot. No gas, no go... :D

X2, not enough fuel going down to the Carb... so that caused to lean out to the extend of starving it for fuel!

EDIT: hold a second.... you said

Are you sure it wasn't the other way around (it sucked air into the tank)??? :confused:

I guess it could have sucked in. I blew throught the vent and it seemed to work.

You shouldn’t be able to blow through the cap from the bottom, that would let gas splash out on the tank.
Sounds like the one-way vent is operating the wrong way
