I can almost hear the regulars sniggering at me, because they all know this is coming...

I'm sorry to say this Craig, but if you ever make it down to Devon, look me up and we can run up the road in unison as if we were starting a classic push-start GP!!

I've had my MC21SE for nearly 10 years, and it's been a b*tch to start since day two (day one, when I picked it up from the importers, it was fine!!).

On a slightly more helpful note, I hope, a good strong battery is essential for an NSR, and can make a difference - not that it's ever helped me! Sorry again!

In the name of research, I have tried virtually every combination of jetting possible, run open carb's, individual foam filters, HRC needles, all-sorts. The only time it would start reliably was when it had open carbs and huge mains (a la Jha/HRC jetting - which doesn't work on the road), so that was no good!

If you find the secret, I'd love to know! In the mean time, I'll continue to live with it... 'cos it's worth it!! :)
