Riding at normal speed on '1999 zx9r' at mid revs, bike died. Pulled over and tried to start but nothing from the button. All other electrics were on (lights and clocks etc) now it will only start with a bump. Thought it was battery but tried to jump start and nothing. Checked the main 30 amp fuse but thats fine. now when riding, if you open the throttle and then chop, it starts to die again. Any ideas???

SOURCE: bad battery

Don't rely on on whether the bike will start at a gas station to determine if the charging system is working. Get the multimeter out and do a proper test. Should be getting about 14.5 volts @ around 3K RPM. It's too easy of a test to to just skip. If it is charging then start looking for something else. Was the new battery properly charged to begin with? Loose battery connection? I suppose the GPS could be too much but you said that it was dying last november, so I would suspect something else. P.S. you need a properly charged battery to get an accurate reading for the charging test.

sounds as if you have an issue with the charging system, try using a volt meter to determine if the bike is charging. To do so you will need to access the battery under the seat, with the bike running hook up the volt meter to the battery terminals, at idle you should have around 11volts when reving you should have around 13volts. If not you may have a bad stator or other electrical issues. good luck

SOURCE: KTM MXC 400 dies and don't know what kind of oil to use

Sounds like a fuel problem. Try replacing the fuel filter.
Check all the lines and the tank vent.

Look at this starter relay close, there is a fuse under a black plastic cover, check this fuse for being burnt. Next check the kick stand safety switch, make sure it is in the bracket, tight no loose wires. Next is the clutch safety switch. And last is a neutral safety switch. Here is a manual for you to download. Hope this helps Fix Ya. up. >>>Hondamanual

More likely to be your ignition coils. They heat up and expand this can cause an open circuit which will close up again when it has cooled down. Although, a bad charging system may cause this problem. Check the battery voltage with engine switched off ( approx 12 volts) and with the engine running (approx 14 volts) If you are getting 14 volts then your battery is dead, if you aren't, then your charging system has a fault.

I have 1999 zx9r that back fires and throw flame out the pipe when i rev it up counld this be my packing in muffler gone or what help please!

you either have a severe missfire or its running too rich if it iworse when riding the bike and you do a rapid gear change to a lower gear and it pops and bangs a lot its air being sucked into the exhaust system from a leak in the exhaust joint or gasket failure check for blows around the exhaust clollectors or splits around the bracket that holds the pipe on to the bike frame
