Great picture man, the bike looks great!

Did you mess around with your idle control at all after putting on the micron exhaust?? The idle control **** should be on your lefthand mid fairing mount, right under the tank and frame. Start the bike and mess around with that for a minute, see if it helps at all.

 

Nope didn't touch a thing just got the exhaust up and tried to start it to check for leaks. Oh and small detail it's only like 35-40 degrees out right now around here..

 

I would play with the idle control just to see what it will do.

As far as the "cold", don't even worry about it. In past years, I've driven year-around as long as the roads were clear. I live in Minnesota and we have many months that stay below 20 degrees consecutively.

 

nice bike!

 

Well whether the weather is cold or not I'm still having a starting issue. Haha. What I have noticed though is if I but the battery tender on for a second it does try to start a bit easier..I'm going to try to get the gas tank up and and the air box off to chech a plug or 2

Thanks

 

try changing the plugs they are probably fouled out. if they are fouled it is for a reason though and without correcting the root problem it will just keep happening. probably running too rich, smaller jets will fix that. hope that helps. p.s. hope you get it fixed, it deserves to run as good as it looks. p.s.s. denso iridiums are expensive, but they are the shiznit.

 

Ya I think I'm going to take the time tonite and try to get the airbox out and a plug or two out so I can at least see what was in there andstick some new ones in. God I should have tried to run the tank empty b4 this! haha

 

Ok guys two things, one how the heck do I get to the plugs? I tried to get to them with the normal "long" craftsman extension and that's a no go, seems to long to get in there.

And onto the second thing. I pulled the spark plug boot off and figured I'd check for spark so I left it off laying against the header and tried to start the bike. No spark out of the boot? Now shouldnt there be spark there or am I just thinking car stuff here?

 

you won't see a spark, the the boot won't let it ground. use the shorter extention. if necessary, only put theratchet half way on the extension. also put a dab of anti-seaze on the threads of the new plugs.

 

Ok thanks. Se thats why I ask these questions haha. I'll just have to grab some extensions from work today and my spart tester.
