Had a thread two days ago, bike was stalling.
Issue resolved, removed personal details, just leaving the info to help others.
Bought my cbr250 no issues, 6 months later it would casually stall once in a blue moon after taking the clutch in/dropping the revs to idle, would restart fine.
Over time it got more frequent, did Darwin to Adelaide 3 times, on the highway it became so frequent, 100% of the time it would start first touch. Run, I accelerate to 120-150kmh. Any downshift or clutch in where the revs went to idle the bike died, had more and more difficulty turning it back on over time.
Bike started having major issues starting and staying running without giving it some throttle.
The issue was a vacuum leak and a faulty fuel pump.
After this, the bike would have trouble starting cold, the revs jumped to like 4 thousand and stuck there for a min before dropping.
The bike would actually start if you gave it throttle when cold and normally when it's was warm, and would idle and run fine after warming up for a min.
ALTHOUGH the original issue I had of it stalling when clutching to decelerate/coming to a stop persisted but to a much lesser extent, it would also backfire when starting. It would be passable for a farm bike or something at this stage.
I took it back to the mechanic, I didn't see the work order specially because he did the work complimentary for accidently giving me it back with the same issue+ the revs jumping and sticking+backfiring.
The dude told me the exhaust valve needed adjusting, said it was unusual because it usually causes different symptoms when it's not working.
Also said the valve was very worn? Don't know.
Right now the bike just needs the slightest throttle when first starting, starts cold fine.
Had it for two days now, took it to a heavy traffic light area, stopping, starting, taking the clutch in. (My fault) I stalled at some lights trying to filter when they changed, bike started up with a single touch like f** new.
Pretty satisfied now tbh, love my repsol. hope this can help someone else save being mucked around.
