Dave, the motor works great, and I love the bike. However, I am experiencing frustrating and weird starting problems. The bike idles nicely, pulls strongly, starts easily when warm, but it refuses to start if left a couple of hours or more. With a little Aerostart sprayed into the airbox, it fires instantly. The carbs have been cleaned and set-up by a mechanic. I left it with a mechanic friend who left it overnight and it fired first kick for him with no throttle and no choke (it is summer here, 30 degrees C). Could this be my technique? I have tried all manner of kicking - even tore the sole off my Alpinestar boots... and with/without throttle/choke... it just sounds dead, like the kill switch is off (yes, I've made sure it is switched on...). The bike is stock except for the usual wire splices and a few extra holes in the airbox. Has anyone experienced this or have some advice for me?
