hey ricky ricardo........dodjer was saying that its never EVER a good idea to run a 2 stroke out of fuel.  Doesn't matter if your riding it or if your just letting it idle.....its still HELL on 2 stroke motors and pretty much doing damage instantly.  Also 2 strokes have a tendancy to "run away" when you run them out of fuel.  Its the nature of the beast and pretty much the opposite of what you physics should allow......but the more you starve a 2 stroke the HARDER and FASTER it is going to actually push itself.....so there have been cases when they start to starve on fuel and just free rev out of control.....

 

and since you are new we will give you some insight on how to stop a run away motor...... pulling the key, ignition wires and even plug wires wont do anything since at that point it is free-reving so hard and building its own heat it will actually start creating its own ignition source.  If this happens pretty much the only way to kill it will be to pull the choke lever out and give a quick stab on the throttle......basically just flooding the motor with fuel compared to what it just ran through. Usually brings the revs down long enough to shut the bike down.

Thanks for the insight jereme.

Every hear the term lean is mean?  That's it right there....starve it for fuel and oil, and as said...it'll rev up and get away from  you.

This is VERY evident in Alky motor bikes, because you're throwing twice the fuel at them.

No new to it and thanks for the info bud.
