Title: Sputter and cough
Post by: DucHead on August 28, 2008, 06:18:38 PM
When leaving intersections from a stop, my bike ('05 S4R) "coughs," and if I don't pull in the clutch it stalls.   I can even feel it in the throttle.   It did it a lot tonight -- four or five times in a 45 minute ride.

Any ideas what the problem is?

Once you slip the clutch enough to keep it from stalling during your hole shot, ( :P) does it run normally?

And check those fuel tank vent hoses.  ;)  [laugh]

Wasn't it really wet down there recently?

Did the bike get wet?
