will not go(properly)

[BYRNIE77]

Just got my hands on a 2007 liquid cooled jog rr.Starts and runs well for first couple of minutes then dies to almost dead stop,will keep going but only just.If i stop and switch off for 5 or so mins the process starts again,starts well pulls well for a couple of mins then dies again.Carbs?Fuel?Where do i start?Anybody any ideas?BYRNIE

i would start with cleaning the carb (if it has carbs i want to see a pic of the intake so maybe i can do it to my zuma) puting in a new plug and cleaning the air filter
also while you are at it if you have a compression tester i would test it whil i was checking every thing out

check the flow of fuel to the carb and into the carb. sounds liek a fuel issue. check the float operation and the litle valve, clean it good, and try again.

WARNING: sometimes carb cleaner is not rubber friendly. anything made out of rubber in the carb is best to clean by hand

Hi again, have tried all of this - still having trouble - runs great when first started, then pretty much dies?. Byrrnie

Check your autoluber. Could be soft siezing.
