Okay, I did a little bit more trouble shooting because its nice out again and I really wanna get my bike going again. I rode it until it started to die and then right before it died I put the choke on and it didnt die, it reved back up but as soon as I would start to pull the choke away or start going by easing out the clutch, it died... Now this is leading me to believe it is something with the carborator... Any suggestions. I have a mechanic I plan to take it to, I just have to find a way to either fit it in a minivan or find somone with a truck.

Well when I first start it up, it idles fine. But after it has died, it doesn't idle, its hard to even keep it running without the choke on full.

This does sound like a carb problem. You may want to check the position of the carb float bowl, the jet, and the cleanliness of the fuel filter. The air filter may be a good thing to clean too if that hasn't already been posted earlier. Also, when it runs before it stalls and is fully warm is the idle speed correct (1200-1400rpm)?

I have yet to test the spark due to the fact that I do not have a spark tester. I am taking the bike to a mechanic tomorrow and he is going to diagnois it for free. If it is something simple, I will fix it. If not, looks like I'm paying him to do it.
