Default Potential problem with new track bike, GSXR 600, 2001

OK, I got a call from the guy that I am getting the track bike from last night. He is having trouble keeping it running. He says it runs for about a minute and then shuts off. It will start again, but does the same thing.

He said he had done three track days with it, and had no problems on those track days. He let the bike sit for a month, and then when he went to get it ready to bring down to me, he said he is having the issue I described above.

As far as I know the bike is fuel injected. I am hoping that with the number of GSXR owners and Suzuki wrench turners on this site, someone will have some idea for me where to start to solve this issue.

He wanted to try and fix it himself, but I am so anxious to get this bike into my possesion, I am still picking it up today.

Any help or ideas is/are appreciated.

post more on the symptoms... choke on, bike on side stand, ignition on, bike starts, runs fine, no smoke, sounds good... 5 minutes later with no changes in circumstance, then bike dies...

details always help

As far as I know, the bike is fuel injected, so there isn't a choke.

The guy said that he will start the bike and it will run for about a minute and a half, and then shut off again. The bike will restart, but cut off again a minute or so later.

I don't really know more than that.

was he running race gas in it? could be clogged filter, kinked fuel line, vent line clogged, or a few other things...

Hey Doug, yes the 01 Gix 6 is FI'ed...there is a choke but it's not really a choke...more like a fast idle...but it does the same thing...might be a couple of things...low idle...should be around 1200rpms...or...and I have no idea if this could be it but I'm guessing for fuel to come out...air must go in...so maybe theres a tank vent might be pinched...tell him to open the gas cap and start it up...see if it still stalls...if you can find out any more symptoms let us know...good luck...

ps...if you ever need...I have a spare 01 gix 6 motor w/500 miles I'll sell ya

Joe, PM me about the spare motor. I don't think mine is that messed but, it would be fun to have something to work on in the off season, and maybe work that motor.

Price?
Electronics/comp/harness included?
milage?

Thanks.
