I’ll start by apologizing for a wall of text
I bought a 2017 DR650 with 1,200 miles, the PO put some goodies on the bike, the best imo is the mikuni TM40. The bike ran like a top up until yesterday. I was going for a ride, and the bike died while cruising along in 3rd. I pulled to the shoulder, let it sit for 5 mins, started up again and I’m on my way. I make it about a mile down the road, clutch in to shift from 2nd to 3rd, and the bike died as soon as I get the clutch in.
I go to start it again, and the battery is dead dead. I make it to the parts store, new battery, off we go. I go to start it this morning, fires right up, idled it for about two minutes, and then it just shut off. The starter cranks as it should, but now it won’t start.
FWIW, I felt as if the bike idled a littler lower than it should yesterday, and I adjusted the idle screw while the bike was cold. I’ve since bottomed it out, and brought it out 3 turns as per a guide from ProCycle.
I fear I may have flooded it, and now I’m consulting the DR community.
Does this sound like a fueling issue? I’m going to have to pull the carb and clean it, no info from PO on if the carb was ever cleaned since the install. Any help or insight would be much appreciated!
