Well, my bike is out of commission. I was riding it home from the DMV after getting my motorcycle endorsement (seriously,) and it started to die as I came to stops. To counter, this I started giving it a little gas to keep the idle up.
Well, I got a little further and then my bike started making this ridiculous horrid squeaking/grinding sound as I was riding (it's very hard to describe) and the bike turned off.
I pulled in the clutch and coasted off the road and stopped. I looked in my oil tank and saw that it was low so I got a ride home, got some oil, and came back and added some. The bike started up and I rode it around the parking lot where I was. All seemed to be going well until the squeaking/grinding sound came back and then the bike violently shut off.
As I restarted it, it died again, i started it again, gave it some gas to try to keep it running, and it violently shut off again. Then the starter wouldn't even work. I would press the starter button and it would make one little sound and that's it.
So, with that said the bike is sitting in a parking lot and now that it's finally legal for me to ride it, I can't. Ideas?
