You need to check if the main fuse isn't blown and also try to source a motorcycle battery, then check if there is spark to the plugs.
Sometimes electrical components on bikes that were stored for long periods of time work only for a few minutes and then they give up the ghost, same as old tv's etc.
But yeah check all fuses because at least the ignition light or oil light, neutral etc needs to turn on. Good luck!

The neutral safety switch is located in the shifter housing.

Here is a link to a good article on this topic, that would beat an explanation from me.

Yes, it sounds like the NSS is the culprit.

Hey whats up? Try back probing your wires going to the CDI unit with a volt meter or continuity tester to make sure you do have any broken wires. Then check the stater make it is good. If sure how to check the starter take it a bike repair shop they should check it for free.. If that does work let me know and I will look further into it for you. Good Luck.

Ok, i recently purchased a DTR 125 R 2000 model with running problems The bike will start with the choke on, then die with the choke off, the fuel/air mixture screw was mashed up so i purchased another...

Sounds like a vacuum leak is leaning out the mixture....check the intake between carb and engine for leaks...another source may be tjhe crankcase seals are leaking.

My yamaha 400 dragstar will start easily and run on choke, but as soon as the throttle is touched the engine cuts out, will not start on throttle only on choke.

Hi
That's a fuelling problem
Sounds like she has been laid up for a while -
If more than 5 or6 months then you'll have to drain & replace the fuel from both the tank & carbs
If over a year then you may need to strip the carbs

It could just be sticky floats - try adding a carb cleaner to your fuel

Bike sat for awhile, runs but doesnt idle very good. cuts out

I would remove and clean the sparkplugs - sounds like one may be fouled.

My 125cc single cylinder (pulse adrenaline) cuts out at junctions

Since the bike is new, chances are strong that fuel IS the problem.
Also chances are that the carb is perfectly fine. Since the bike is new I'll bet yoy have washed it several times already. The dealer may have washed it also. Fuel is the problem because bikes do not run well on water.

Drain the carb. Remove the water trap bowl on the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Look at the gas in the bowl. Any water in the bottom of the bowl? Drain a cup of gas from the petcock. any water in the cup? I am very hopefull this will fix the problem. With a new bike and a clean carb and fuel system not much else should be wrong.

Only running on full choke?

The jets on the carb need to be cleaned.
