My new '91... starting problems!
First off... i absolutely love the bike. A dream come true. I feel like we were made for each other!!!! Who needs girls when you can drive something like this? lol... anyways.
I dunno if i would really call this a "problem". more of an annoyance. The bike runs great when she's warm.
First off When she's warm she's usually about 1k-1100 RPMs. When cold with the choke on it's anywhere from 2100 to 3k.
Here's where the annoyance is...Sometimes in the morning when it's really cold it has a lot of trouble starting up. It sounds like it's trying to start up and i get little spurts of sound from the muffler but she won't go. When this happens i can get her to start if i start with the chokeclosed and roll the lever down until i find the right spot (while giving it a little bit of throttle). Then i hold the throttle for a second or two and turn the choke all the way up and let her warm up. Is this normal? The engine seems to be a little bit choppy when warming up when it's really cold,but when i say little i mean a little.
Basically, what should i have performed on her now that she's mine? Carbs cleaned? anything like that?
Thanks guys. any advice is greatly appreciated
