well, how is your bike when its cold, does it fire right up, need help, need time, do you require the choke, do you kick it pull it or push a button, share all your temper mental bike stories and even your fire right up bikes.

MY BIKES

2004 xtreme cr107. very temper mental when cold, i have to leave the choke on for like 10 min to get it to idle properly, but when its warmed up its amazing, like a totally different bike. i get a simulated rich condition when its cold, like the throttle bogs on the low end, but once its warm its great, instant response, and a great idle

1986 trx200sx. my bros bike, its the opposite of the pitbike, no choke, no throttle, just turn it on and push the button and it fires instantly, no studder, perfect idle, responsive. yet it fouls plugs once a week and throws off more smoke than a pre-1990 diesel tractor trailer. I'm still trying to figure out a solution to that, its most likely just valves, gaskets, rings and jetting.

so lets hear your stories, i hear the 350x is a beast to start when cold

My Beast Starts right up , Once it gets hot it's another Story !

I hear Jetting is the key to the 4 Strokes -
