I've looked far and wide for a solution which im pretty sure is simple.
My katana's (93' 600) battery is pretty much dead. I plan on replacing it soon. When I boost it there enough juice to leave it running however. When they choke is on full, it stays on and runs fine. However, when i turn the choke low or off, it just eventually dies on me. even when im riding and i pull up to a stop sign with the clutch pulled in, the engine will just get slower and i have to use my throttle to have it stay running. I guess it's an idling problem.
Now ive been told a few things
1. its the battery, where the bike relies mainly ont he battery at low rpms to keep it running
2. the gas is bad (also a possibility)
3. it could be the carbs ( but i doubt it because i just recently cleaned them) i will however use some seafoam just incase.
maybe its a combination of all three?
do you guys think there could be another possible issue? any suggestions would be helpful. i hopeing this is all that could be all thats wrong with it because these arent big issues.
SO i was just wondering if this has happened to others and what they did to fix it or how i could go about it, what better place then this site.
Thanks in advance
