Hi, I have a Yamaha V-Star 650 2003, I love it and I really want to start riding again but today I am having a problem...When I turn the bike on if I don't continuously accelerate ( throttle/give it gas) the bike stalls completely, even if I have the choke on....I can ride only if I keep giving it gas..If I stop throttling/accelerating the bike stall completely. It stops regardless of what gear I am on. Can anyone suggest what can be wrong? Thanks
You are correct it has been sitting for a while...I will buy that product and see if it helps. Thanks so much
 
If it has been sitting or if its a carbed bike the fuel or carbs may be dirty. Buy a product called Sea Foam at the auto parts store and put it in the gas tank. Read directions before you do as you don't want to put it too much and also see site below for other helpful tips
