My bike as stored for the winter. I took it out for a few days and it was fine.
I remember getting gas and after 10 miles or so the rpm's started fluttering up and down, then it started sputtering and kicking and finally shut down.
The bike runs just fine in neutral. It idles fine and revs fine, but when I put it in gear it either dies right away(it's not the kickstand switch) or I can keep it running for a little bit by giving it a lot of gas, but it kicks and sputters a lot and will then die.
I checked the fuel filter and the fuel lines going from the tank and to fuel filter to make sure it wasn't a fuel restriction issue. I only checked the three hoses coming off the tank when I removed it, and the fuel filter. They all looked fine.
The weird part is that I can let it sit for a day, start it up and take it up and down the street(maybe 1/8 mile or so and it will run fine before it starts sputtering/kicking and then dying. But again, it is fine in neutral.
Any ideas what the issue might be?
