HI to all members.....I`ve just recently bought a 2004 Burgman 400, and only rode it twice so far. The reason is both times I rode it...it broke down. Although these issues are now fixed, I do have another which is really putting me off riding again. It starts ok, but, after a little while it coughs and splutters when shutting throttle down, and then does`nt pull away cleanly as I would have expected. Dealer is saying that it is a characteristic of this machine...but I doubt this very much. Has any one got any idea what this could be, while I still have some warranty left. Thanks in advance for any help.....

I too am new to maxi ownership and therefore still learning, so cant help with your problems
but welcome to the forum

welcome elmer, 2004 should be fuel injected and not carb, so i would suggest new plug and air filter and check exhaust for leaks .. good luck

Thanks for the replies so soon as well, my flabber is gasted.....anyways I have been in touch with the dealer today, after I put my post on here, and he suggested that a refund is in order! let me also say...I am a returning motorcyclist and did not anticipate any problems with renewed ownership of being on 2 wheels again. I was looking forward to getting out more. Do I regret not being back...YES, but also humbled that the dealer has shown compassion and offered a full refund. ARJ motorcycles you are the most honest person/dealership I have ever come across. He won`t see this blog, but....bless his cotton socks.
from an old fart 66 years of age, and never stop believing in people.

thats a good outcome, so what you going to get now come on we can advise you

Hello & Welcome

Welcome

If you can stretch to a B400 from after 2007 they are much better
