tick over or running - spider - 03-04-14
Started my 600 after winter away. Left it with full tank. Running lumpy. Keeps cocking out. Still goes great until you stop. Put 18quid fresh fuel in. 1 mile home. Still cutting out. Any ideas please feel free to tell me.

Never heard of a bike cocking out before, must be owned by a dickhead :lol
Mostly likely dirty pilot jets from the fuel being left in the bowls evaporating over the winter. Drain the float bowls as a first option. If this does not resolve it you may need to remove the carburettors and clean the pilot jets and float bowls.

conking out opps. will try a fuel additive first.

That's what I would do before removing the carbs. Depends on how adverse to taking things apart on your bike

Mix some carb cleaner in with your fuel and change the plugs.

You may as well put a cup of tea in your tank, that stuff is a total waste of money and will do nothing!
STP Complete Fuel System Cleaner is the only additive i've ever known to show noticeable results before.
Half a bottle per full tank, over 2 tanks.

I hate to be pessimistic, but I reckon you're probably going to have to take off your carbs and clean out the jets and fine drillings.
They don't like being stood. I start the engine once a month over winter and run it up to temperature to avoid blocked jets.
