hey everyone,
if anyone can tell me off the top of their head,
i have a stock '03 monster 800s with about 150 miles on it. Bought it brand new, but its been sitting in my garage for about 6 months. Well heres the problem: the idle speed it very weak and will just die on me even with the choke on, any suggestions or solutions?
thx

Possibly bad Fuel from sitting. Change it. Next time put a fuel stabilizer in it for storage.

put the bike on a trailer and bring the bike to a dealer for warranty work. hope that helps.

check easy stuff 1st. do you have fuel, is the petcock turned on, no pinched ventlines. those would be the 1st things i'd look at.

fresh gas, new oil and filter, a little fuel injection cleaner and a long ride should sort it out
