Hi all, I've been lurking on here for a while and thought I'd better sign up and say hi as I've learned a lot from this forum!
My GT I have owned 6 years, not many around but it's built to ride so why not? Never let me down although it wouldn't say the same about me as once I expected it to carry on with no fuelโ€ฆ does like to stall at the lights tho.
I recently changed the original 2006 belt at 14k kms, looked hardly worn but I thought I was pushing it age-wise.
Anyway, howdy ๐Ÿค

Welcome from an ex-pat Brit - good to see a GT60 being ridden rather than being confined to some lock-up or garage.

The stalling at lights - consider thoroughly cleaning the throttle-body idle bypass channel, and also checking the valve clearances. Another thing to consider - the possibility of cracks in the intake manifold tube i.e. the bit between the throttle body and the head.

Thanks for the welcome, the stalling only happens occasionally after about 10 seconds idling after a run and if I catch it and blip the throttle it's fine after that. My old Honda SH used to do it too, from new. I'll have a good look at the intake hose as suggested.
