2003LimitedBanshee Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 A big part of this could be the air temp where you are? What temp is it when you are having this problem? It is pretty common to need some choke when starting from dead cold at temps at or below 70 degrees or so... Quote

2003LimitedBanshee Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 You might need to go up on your pilot. How cool are the cooler temps you are talking about. I noticed this last weekend when I was at the Oregon Dunes that I had to give my bike extensive warm up time, watching it for 5 plus minutes to make sure it didn't not die while warming up. It was probably 50-55 when I was starting it, however, once it was warmed up I didn't have to use the choke even after letting it sit for 15-20 minutes or more(?). I am currently going to up to a 27.5 pilot as it seemed like it may want that little bit more fuel early on, plus the power seemed a tiny bit flat off idle. You may try that, I will probably swap the new pilots in tomorrow night and can let you know, although I don't have as cool nightly temps now that I am back home. Quote
