Ok I finally got my f3 back on the road. It runs great but the only problem that I have now is that when Itry to start my bike it does not start up right away. I have to play with it for a second and sometimes that wears my battery down or sometimes it seems like the battery is not strong enough to start it! Once I get it running all is well and it cranks up just fine after it run about 5 or 10 minutes .I just want to be able to hop on that bad boy and go. If you have any suggestions I am all ears this Forum got my bike back on the road so I am turning to it once again!

FYI It has a brand new battery

 

Apply the choke when outdoor temp is below 60 deg F.

 

I applied the choke when it is below 60 and I just give it a little and it will catch and shut off and when I try it again it seems like it is flooded. I don't give it any gas and very little choke!

 

when warmed up what are u idling at ? you can try raising your idle settingsa touch when the bike is warmed up drop it back down

 

How old are the plugs? If they are old or you have no clue how old they are, change them out.

 

Mostly all the parts on my bike are new in fact the plugs or only weeks old. I replace nearly everything that needs to be replace regularly on the bike.

 

at about 15 when warm

 

I'm having similar issues with mine at the moment... but my plugs are three years old. I have plugs to put in... it's just sooo damn cold out there. My situation is that after the bike it warmed up and then shut off, it won't start up.I think that I've also got an air leak some where in the intake because when I try to start it again (temp gauge is above first mark),my biekacts like it'sflooded. I've also been thinking of syncing the carbs since they have never been touched ever since I've had the bike... and I rode it off the show room floor. Tighten up the bands in between the carbs and manifold and also check the rest of the air intake for any potential air leaks.
