hi guys new to this so hi to all , i just bought a stealth 2011 6000 miles or so on the clock , drove fine for about 40 miles after i bought it then stalled and cut out , i know what your about to say ,yes the tap was on ,i had a full tank
then it started then died again started and bronco billy-ed me down the road for a 100 or so meters then died ,took plug out no spark , done the whole trace the wires of the side stand thing but still refused to run , took battery out and charged as normal but still failed to run properly , it would tick over but rev it and it died , so i pulled the pipes off the carb and drained the bowl , seemed fine juice was coming out and smelled ok- and it was getting juice plus checked the 3 movements on the tap all fine .? any body had probs like this before ?,help needed

Hi no experience of stealth, but no spark means wont run, and electrical are often intermittent due to loose /poor connection or failing as things get warm, or ignition weak and fails when engine under load. I d start with a new plug, see if you get good spark.

hi chirs thanks for the reply , i found the prob it was a lose connection on the coil under the tank (all ways the last thing you check haha) but it would only come lose while the bike was moving and vibration set in on the go , all sorted now ,,, no other probs to report so far but if anything pops up ill let yous know

Cheers, yes always the last thing you check unless you just go looking for trouble- if it aint broke don’t fix it. I’ll remember coil loose connection, easier to fix than coil breaking down as it gets warm. Enjoy the riding, sunny hear at moment, no time for a ride but I might get the grass cut! .
