Re: Feels like chugging
Even with the carb heaters working, icing does still occur when using cheap fuel. Another reason to use the premium stuff.

Re: Feels like chugging
Fairly classic symptoms of sticking choke plunger.

Re: Feels like chugging
Ok, i'm not very good with wiring so it's not the sort of thing i'd want to risk, knowing my luck I'd break something ^^ i'll see if riding it for a while warms up the whole area up and see of that makes a difference. I'll also try checking my fuel lines, pump, spark plugs and all that stuff.
Thanks

Re: Curvy running poorly.
Its been a bit wet recently.Front plug hole got water in it?Fuel got water in it?
Choke plungers should be a regular service item to prevent trouble.

Re: Curvy running poorly.
I don't know if there's water in the plug hole, i haven't had the time to check today, i'll be doing it tomorrow. There shouldn't be water in the fuel though. I filled the tank from almost empty a couple of days ago and i'm very careful about not letting water get into the tank

Re: Curvy running poorly.
Almost empty tanks in winter invite condensation from humid air and temperature changes. Better to let it sit fully fueled.

Re: Curvy running poorly.
It was only sitting overnight with about 4L in.
I rode it today and it felt absolutely fine which is good. It's confusing because it happened all of a sudden and it went just as quickly... As long as it's running alright I'm happy though! Thanks for your input, everyone! I love how helpful everyone is here!
