Default RE: right lean

why would it be normal for the engine to stall when leaned to the right???


check your float height, assuming you have a carbed bike

Either carb or knock-down sensor related.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust it to make any right turns until you figure it out and fix it. So always turn left until you do.

Either carb or knock-down sensor related.
Or you are low on fuel and moving the fuel away from the petcock when you lean the bike.

I've also seen that crappy sheet metal screw come loose and cause the bank angle sensor to sit crooked...just puttin it out there.&nbsp\\; It wouldn't be the first time I'd heard of it happening.&nbsp\\; Low fuel wouldn't cause it to cut out that quickly...unless it's a LONG right turn.
