Back on the V-Power today - MILES better.

Left it to get warm (which took a while) by starting as per Spannerman's advice, however it kept petering out. Had to keep it around 2k until it had warmed through, but much better running.

It was VERY cold today. Chappy from a few door up reckons it was -8°C, but I measured it at -5°C.

My preference is to back the choke off as soon as the engine starts, & try to keep it around 1400ish rpm. That way there's less strain on the engine, & gives the components that are the last to get oil an easier life.

However, young Matt, for your previous acts of mechanical sadism, we shall upon your next visit administer a suitable punishment with a honey dipped wet kipper, & a ping pong ball:D


Cheers.
I look forward to it :cool:

I shall perform the prescribed method of action for cold starting my bike in the future

Nah! Think I'll get a pointy. At least then, if I drop it, I won't be that bothered. ;)

Good morning all.


You may well find that if you can adjust your mixture screws (if they're not seized) it'll run on less choke without cutting out.
Suzuki typically set them at around 2 turns out, however once the engine has worn a little, most bikes seem to idle better with the screws set nearer to 3 turns out.
