XT600E dies after a while
 

Hi everyone!

Im from Portugal, thanks to all that contribute to this forum!

I have a XT600E and "she" dies after a while rolling. It's very strange, it starts very well (even when cold) and works perfect, meanwhile, after 15/20 minutes rolling it dies like when it doesn't have fuel and does not start more.

I have to wait like 30 minutes to start it again....

I already replaced the spark an the spark plug...

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Recommend to really clean the airfilter first. Three times in clean petrol, and then lightly oiling may help.

Lots of info on here about similar XT problems. In the white search box in top right of main page -type in ' XT600E cuts out' and you will see loads of info

Good luck

Thanks for your reply but I already check it...

Air filter is new, I can't find nobody with my problem :(

Thanks!

Stock airfilter is paper, it shouldnt be soaked in petrol or oil.

Could be the ignition coil, resistance goes up as it heats up, but its hard to troubleshoot as by the time youve stopped, and removed seat and gastank to meassure it, it has cooled down and is within specs. Its really not common on theese bikes tho'


Hope you get it sorted out, and come back with a solution.

next time is stops do two things
1. unscrew the float bowl drain screw and see if fuel flows freely for a minute or two.
2. if thats ok, take out the spark plug and check for spark

if its the second, then its what jens said or other ignition problem.

also check the stand switch.

So it stops after 15/20 mins, i would say its an electrical component failing as it gets hot, could be your stator, reg/rec or coil.

Mezo.

My lawnmower's a bit like that :rofl: Back in the world of the internal combustion engine though, a friend had exactly the same symptoms on his 20yr old Triumph a few weeks ago and it was the ignition pickup. Fine when cold, runs for about 20 mins, cuts out and takes around 15 mins to restart. Then does about 3-5 miles and stops again. Check for a spark while it's in a sulky phase.

If you never have open the carb and cleaned it i suggest you start there, had lot of problems with stop and wait and everything ok. If you have a hill near, try and check if it happens again. Its just not enough fuel when it need the lilttle extra. Its a small filter inside and rust particles from tank had filled up there, cleaned up and added a inline fuelfilter problem never came back.

When i read that top blue thing here, thinking maybe we should make a Yamaha forum...I dont care for the rest of this site, just here to help tech and hate sites that starts begging for cash..Would be bad if all the info we have been giving gets lost of blocked, know about other forum for Yamaha that just wasnt there next day..

Agreed.
As per an earlier post, I've had the same phenomena.
Electrical components do strange things when they exceed their temperature parameters and then stop doing those strange things when cooled down.
The basic practical way of trouble shooting this is to change the components one at a time (a fundamental principle of the "scientific method") and that is where a professional workshop scores over the non-professionals who don't have the resources.


Well, it wasn't this one which is an excellent resource for the Serow, and has been for years.

I can't imagine that this site would block access to such technical information; there again, perhaps I don't have much imagination :innocent:

Hi again!

Thank you everyone for your replys! Today I replaced my ignition coil, I read somewhere in Internet that can be the ignition coil when gets warm stop sending eletric current...

Tomorow I come here to post a feedback!

Fingers crossed....

Thanks!

No not for XT, Thunderace site and the only one out there with info from many years.. If you need cash you start paysite and most of us is gone..

Hi guys!

I just replaced my ignition coil and it's solved!!

Thanks everyone!! :scooter:

Great:thumbup1: I still recomend cleaning carb if its long time since last service, before season start do check and lubrication. Brake pads, wheel bearings, steering bearing, oil,airfilter, check tires, change brake fluid every 2 year, lubricate vires, check chain and sprockets and lubricate.
