No cold start problems here but you might need to adjust the throttle screw under the seat. What RPM are you idling at when the bike is warm? Just asking, but are you using the choke when starting your bike?

You can also try this. Start the bike and warm it up good. Thumb the choke down and adjust the throttle screw to reach 3500 rpm. Thumb the screw back up, and re-adjust rpm back to 1150-1200.

hhmm when the bike warm idling RPM is bout 1.2-1.4k. yup, using the choke when starting up. is that too low?

will try out your solutions when i head home. thanks a lot

Charge the bike each night on a battery tender. Get new plugs. I cycle the fuel pump at least twice before starting, and make sure the pump is on and priming when you try to start it. (let it prime once, then it shuts off. flip the kill switch off and then on so it primes again. I do this at least twice. I used to try to start it after the pump was done priming, now I only do it during.

I will assume you mean 1200-1400? You need to be at 1150-1200 when warm.
