Question:

motorcycle dies when not engine braking?

When i ride my motorcycle and i go from accelerating or cruising (anything where the throttle is open at all) then pull the clutch in, the engine dies. When i go from throttle open to throttle closed without pulling the clutch in, using engine braking (or down-shifting), then the bike has no problems.I have tried increasing the idle speed, and have gone as high as 1800rpm for the idle speed, and the problem still exists.This seems like an idle or carburetor issue, but I am not sure. It seems like the idle is not engaging when it should.I have synced, and cleaned, the carbs as well, with no avail.Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.The motorcycle is a 1995 kawi ZX6R.

Answer:

as previous but add clean fresh fuel and a dying battery
Sounds like either a fuel delivery problem or a vacuum leak.
