Starting problems
It seems that my CBR has some problems building compression to fire the engine. It takes up to 5-7 attempts to get her started, with choke on and no additional gas (don't wanna flood her). Once started, she idles just barely shy of dying again. Then a little twist on the throttle and she idles higher/better. However, after riding for a while and then parking for a little, she fires right up and idles well. Seems to be related to a warmed up engine?
This also seems to find its continuation in low speed traffic, 1st & 2nd gear, where my CBR is behaving a bit choppy.
I'm not sure if it's really a compression problem, i just read the forums here and seems like a logical explanation.
What's your idea?
Carb work? Carb cleaner additive to the fuel? With 2 left hands, I'm challenged in typing this up, let alone working on the bike
Any and all help is greatly appreciated
