Motorcycle Repair: Honda XR200, honda xr200, shively


Question
The bike starts and idles but as soon as you give it throttle it bogs down. I have checked the carb for dirt ect. There is new gas in the tank and the air cleaner is free of dirt.

Answer
Hi Steve,

There's no question here, but I suspect the carburetor will need cleaned and tuned before the engine will run properly.

Some history on the MC would be helpful. Please follow all directions for posting questions.

Respectfully,
