Stalling at high speeds SRAD

[ArodtheMan]

I have a 2000 gsxr 600 with 21800 miles. This past sunday my bike died after I reached about 80 mph. The electronics did not cut off. It redline and died. Once I pulled over it started on choke and cut off around the same speed again. Could someone push me in the right direction. Carb has been cleaned

Float heights...but i'm usually wrong!

[ArodtheMan]

In the carb?

[Armi]

Yes.

[ArodtheMan]

I dont think thats the problem because after it happen I cleaned out the fuel filter and sprayed the carb cleaner in the carb and it ran great

Fuel pump is going weak probably. Happened to mine.

There is a test procedure in teh manual. IIRC it should pump a smooth stream of fuel and fill a two liter in one minute? I forget the exact specs but it is in the manual. If it is a pulsing stream even if it gets close to the right amount I would replace the pump and it will likely fix it.

Y tube from carbs to air box?

side stand switch maybe..

If its the fuel pump wouldnt it do it all the time.

Nope.

The pump is pumping, but not sufficiently. So at high RPM high fuel usage the bike outruns the fuel supply and stalls.

Turn it off, cycle the key which cycles the pump, and it starts back up.

Thanks for the advice. And what about if I can over 80 sometimes.

[Moto_Joe]

Impossible to say.

My first step would be to follow the manuals recommendation for checking fuel pump. Then I would check float levels (but those dont usually suddenly change). It sounds fuel related IMO.

[ArodtheMan]

Where do i find those manuals?

How could I check that too?

[ArodtheMan]

And how could that effect me at high speeds

I have the same bike. Mine did similar...and around the same speed. If the spring is weak, the vibrations/bumps make the plunger in the switch lose contact, shutting it down (not electronics, but the engine itself)

Put a ziptie around the sidestand switch (holding it in making full contact) and take it for a spin afterwards and see if it continues. If not..that was probly the issue. If it DOES continue, follow suit with what the others in here tell u to check
