0 I'm experiencing the same issue with our 890r. I can keep it running by babying the throttle, but too much throttle and it dies. I cleaned the air filter and replaced the oil this morning w/o any change in behavior. Next up I'll replace the existing fuel w/ some new stuff, per Ryobi instructions, and see if that works. Will post back!
