Default suzuki gz250 dies after a few blocks, won't restart
Hi,

I have a 2001 GZ250 cruiser that has been giving me problems recently. I can start it ok usually, and ride it a few blocks, but then it'll just die. I'll coast to a stop, and then can't restart it for awhile (and half the time I run down the battery trying before it works and have to charge it...).

I'm not out of gas, and the fuel gauge is set to On. The spark plugs are new and look fine. Oil level is normal. Previously I haven't had any problems with it except it occasionally backfires but it didn't seem like that was actually a problem, just annoying, but I'm not a mechanic... Any idea what might be the problem?

Thanks. I'd really really really appreciate any help, I can't afford to blindly take it in to a mechanic that'll charge me out the wazoo for a bunch of tests or something...
