Splutters then dies after 5 minutes of riding.

Hi there. Can you please give me an idea what could be the cause of my bike spluttering then cutting out after only 5 minutes of riding. It starts normal when cold then dies after riding a short while then I have to wait for an hour or so before it will start. Battery is new. Alternator is charging. I'm convinced its either the ignition module or coils but don't know how to test them.

    No choke is good. Am going to check if stator is fried even though it seems to be charging fine.

SOURCE: Electrical problem

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, pls try recharging the battery again. Remove the connector to the voltage regulator. Start/run the bike. If it lasts more than "3-5 minutes" then you have just confirmed a defective regulator. The voltage regulator would look something like below image.

This page may give you additional insight.

Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: Bike not charging

Sounds like regulator/rectifier, stator, or charging rotor.

SOURCE: Suzuki vs800 intruder dies after about a mile!

Sounds like water in the gas. ALWAYS have a fire extinguisher on hand when working on carburetors.
For each carb > Drain the carburetor. There should be a screw on the lower side or bottom of the carb float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. Turn the gas back on and wait a minute for the carb to fill with gas. If the bike doesn't start and run properly then shut off the gas and remove the carburetor from the engine.

Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb.
Put the carb back together, clean the air filter and install the carb. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine. This process should get you back on the road.

Please rate this solution. Thanks!

Starts idles for a minute then dies

Have you checked the actual fuel pipes for flow ? You might need a carb refurbish kit. Weak vacuum causes similar type problems.

Gsxr cuts out

replace the fuel pump or adjust the TPS. It doesnt do it in nuetral its because it is not under a load. Put in dealer mode to check the TPS. It should read -COO... If the - is not in the middle (if its up top or on bottom) it needs to be adjusted.

To keep my engine running i have to pull the throttle obviously to rev it, else it the engine cuts out, and when i ride it splutters and cuts out, so i kick down a gear n it starts again but then dies...

has the bike been sitting for some time? Sounds like a classic case of gummed up low speed jets in the carbs. Pull the carbs and clean then out.

Hi, My bike cuts out, coughs and splutters if I am out for more than 10 mins on a hot day. Any ideas?

Sounds like water in the gas. Bad gas at an old filling station can be the source. More likely is simple condensation in the gas tank. Drain the carbs if not fuel injected and also drain some gas from the tank.

SPLUTTERS AND DIE

First what kind of noise. Plus did you replace the cam chain tenisor when you replaced the chain. That will make a noise in the top end. Other than that piston slap will cause some noise but you will hear it more at higher rps most of the time. I have seen a lot of problems latly where the tank does not breathe properly so it will start spudder then die a few times. Usually it is the gas cap.,
