My CBR 1000F 1997 is very hard to start when its cold,Happend just over a night,It will not respond at all with the choke,I must crank it several times for it to fire up,But when the bike is warm it starts without no problem at all,PLEASE ADWISE

 

Mine does it too, when cold - it's something I've learned to live with. On a cold morning it'll stall 4 or more times before it takes, especially if it's been on the sidestand over night........
I don't think there's anything wrong with the carbs or other settings - other guys have similar experiences.............

 

Check your battery, it needs a full battery to perform at best.

Do the simple checks first, before we all start stripping you bike down to see whats wrong.

Or ya might have gotten some crap gas/petrol too !

 

good service and valve clearance check would be a good place to start.

 

Its was the battery,It only held 11,8 volt,When i was trying to start, it fell to 11,2 volt,Hot wired it with my car and it fired up direct,Must buy a new one tomorrow.Thanks for the help guys.

 

Ask Trout and Sprock, They know of a good place to get a good Battery.

 

Yeah, if you're interested... look at the "motobatt" sealed glass mat batteries. You can get the correct size on fleabay and amazon. ($65 shipped)
Best battery I've ever had in this bike.
It takes a little manipulation of the cables on the teminals (have to bend them), but other than that.... excellent battery for the price. (and comes with 4 terminals if you run accessories)
The actual motobatt model is MBTX14AU.
Very common size and fits a ton of bikes.

Edit- OK- post was deleted. Thanks Shadow. As Rosanne Rosannadanna used to say, "never mind".

 

What do you mean about football?
