Not sure if this is a mechanical/electrical/rider problem.
I'm a new rider and just got my new new to me Yamaha Scorpio 225. When I am riding in th cold (usually on a night, although I've only had the bike a week) and pull my clutch to change gears, sometimes the bike stalls. I can't find a pattern to when it does it apart f Om it seems to happen more at night and doesn't seem to do it when I ride it in the middle of the day or morning.
It happened 2 or 3 times tonight in a 15 minute ride home from work.
It stalls when the clutch is fully pulled so I don't think it's me that's stalling the bike. I loose all power and the engine turns off. It usually happens if I pull the clutch back for longer than usual.
Not sure if it's related but the dipped headlights don't work, only the main beam so I always ride around with my main beam on, and when I increase the revs the light b comes brighter.
Can anyone think of any possibilities?
Thanks
