    85 tri-z issue with gas leaver

    where you turn the gas on and off, for some reason while riding it keep moving its self to almost off i'll be riding and it will fall flat and try to stall reach down turn it back on good to go for a few more mins.. sucks having to keep reaching down to turn it back on lol, also not sure if its normal but full throttle down the road it vibrates so bad i can hardly hold the handle bar.

    Check and see if you have a bent axle or rim.

    Should be easy to tell if you have a bike motor in it unless they modded the kick starter some how. The bikes kicked towards the rear and the z kicks toward the front. Ill get you a picture in the A.M if no one else puts one up by then.

    Post a photo of the right hand side of your engine and cylinder and we'll let you know. Your engine came with provisions for a PV but they only came stock on the YZ bikes.

    Its your foot hitting the fuel switch, if your wear high boots or have a tendency to pull the right leg up..it happens..could be wore out o ring and seals too causin it to be a bit too loose..iv shut myself down a few times with this issue i moved the pump to the backside of the mount.

    Does it have the same vibration at full throttle when you are sitting still and not going down the road?
