well, I've been getting some time in the saddle

not much as yet, just having a bit of a blast around hataitai, staying out of traffic for now
and I love my bike

she's a little temperamental on the start, which is probably down to me being a noob. yay for carbed bikes :P
but otherwise excellent. absolutely loving it so far.

It it a carb'd one?
Starting procedure is FULL "Choke" NO throttle, and hit the start button. No twisting of the throttle while it is turning over.
Then take the choke off when warmed off.

Failure to adhear to this will result in fouled plugs, and the starting will get worse.

Note: I said "Choke", as they aren't actually chokes anymore. They are enrichers, but nobody will understand that if manufacturers change the names of things after years.....

I wouldn't worry too much about the L Plates, you're never gonna be pulled unless you pull of a decent wheelie at the light. That's just my opinion tho :P

I'm aware of the book proceedure
full choke appears to be too much, as it doesn't fire at all on full choke.

on minimal choke it takes a couple of attempts to get started, but settles nicely once going
on no choke, it won't start either (big surprise there)
probably going to be a good idea to pop the plugs out and have a looksee.

just need to get my hands on a decent toolkit.
