Title: need help ! think I have carborator problems
Post by: scrod on November 13, 2008, 10:08:59 PM
I have a new 2008 gs 500 f and when I go to start it doesn't want to start. I have to throttle up alot even with choke on. Its ok when Im up in rpm but when I down shift to 1rst gear it wants to stall. I noticed my idle was very low as well. there was some gas coming from the over flow today. Im learning as I go working on this bike. this is something  I need advice on problems it may be.

12 month/unlimited mileage warranty to the best of my knowledge, I'd have to check my paperwork to be sure but I'd look in that direction!
