Symptoms: okay so the bike died halfway home, then started up then wen i got home turned it off came to start it a few minutes later and it wudnt start ...then i jump started it... went for a ride maybe about 5 minutes later.. it died out ..it wudnt start again... so i tried push starting and it worked but it kept dying at idle and while riding... wats the go? bikes got 4700kms 2001 model jst got it about 2 weeks ago... doesnt look like its been looked after... my first guess is the carbs .. but if anyone noes please help lol oh yeah.. all the electrical stuff works, wat i meant by it died is that the engine turned off
Check the battery (test it to see if it's good)
Check the battery connections
If the battery is good and the connections... check the charging system.
Chances are the battery is either not holding a full charge, not getting the charge into the electrical system, or not getting fully charged.
All will lead to... plug firings, light on, blinkers, all gradually draining until you get nothing.

RS125? We do gs500s here :dunno_black:
I'd bet it's either the battery, or you're not getting enough gas, could definitely be something in the carbs.
The carb is easy , i got a 1996 NSR 125cc 2 smoke , the carbs had set for 4 years , i stripped and cleaned every jet and it worked perfect after , the area that lets fuel into the carb looked fine , but it didnt flow into the carbs , i pulled it off the bike and put fuel into the carb and it wouldnt flow out , once that sorted mint , defo sounds carby
I believe he posted a follow up thread somewhere that said the bike just didn't have any gas in it.
