    Bike used regularly and generally no starting problem till recently. Stood for a week and was difficult to get her started sounded like she was running in three cyl. Once started ran fine and started fine ever time for a couple of weeks. Again now after around 8 days of not using bike same thing. Any ideas ??

    Get it hooked up to an optimate. Be careful of over turning the motor though, I managed to fry the starter by turning too much. Now got a higher capacity LI battery, starts much easier now.

    It was on an optimate. The battery is fine it's just firing up very rough. Have to give it welly to start it. Thinking may be auto choke

    Is the bike stored in the dry or out in the wet?
