Also where is it located?It's ok once it has warmed up just can become a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its just when cold I would inspect the choke..the coil generally sits under the petrol tank literally above the plug..If the bike runs fine when warm, then its not the coil. the coil generates the spark, so id suggest that your problem is with fuel and mixture.. does it have a manual choke? and do you leave it on choke long enough to warm fully.?

Guest Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 No, it's Autochoked!does it start up okay, when cold and just run lumpy.. if so the choke sounds okay, How old is the bike, does it still have warranty, if so nip it back to the dealer to have a look at..

The guy i bought it off said it always has this problem. Here is what usally happens it starts up ok then it will die if i pull up to a junction then it's really hard to start then after that it starts to run a bit better.

Dale. Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well i have the idle set quite high because when the engines cold it still won't keep running but once it's warm the back wheel spins quite fast.Maybes it's just one of those things.
