    im 16 and i dont know alot about bikes o_O so here i go.
    last month it was raining and it just about started and whilst riding home it would bog down i could only do 20-25.
    so the next day it started but wouldnt go over 10mph and cut out down the road.
    today it started and cut out a few seconds after.
    what could it be? any suggestion will help!:(

    Is there any immobiliser system on it? If so, try get around it and test.

    Is the bike not starting at all now or still cutting only after a few seconds?

    If not starting at all check for spark:
    Take spark plug out, HT Lead, hold ground electrode contact against engine metal and turn engine (starter or kick).

    If starting and cutting out:
    Is it a sharp cutout (electrical) or a slow (like no fuel)?
    Check/clean carb. It will take you 30 mins at a newbie to remove carb and check jets etc. Take a look at

    If electrical it could possibly be HT/Ignition coil.

    Spark is always a killer. LOL. Glad you sorted. Take it easy.
