This never happened to me before and didn't expect it to happen on a 6 yr-old bike. Wondering if anyone else here had the same issue before
Motorcycle was left in the underground parking spot for 2 weeks. 2012 CBR250 w/ 10000km.
1. Went to start the bike this morning, it fires up perfectly as usual, but when I begin to pull out of the parking spot, it stalled. After that I tried to start it again but the bike only cranks.
2. 4 hours later. Got the engine running in first ignition. However engine sounded weak. The bike idled at around 1500-2000rpm for 1 min, I throttled it in neutral to around 4000rpm, then it stalled again.
3. Immediately tried to start the bike again, this time I didn't let it idle and tried to ride it out like 1), as soon as I shifted to 1st and throttled it stalled.
4. Waited 30min and started the bike, it magically returned to normal state, rode it around the neighborhood for 10 min, just like nothing happened.
Normally I'd just assume I left it untouched for too long and hope this is only a one-off. However I am going on a long trip next week and I am concerned that it will stall on me in the middle of nowhere. How should I proceed on finding the root cause?
Thanks again everyone!
