Bike starting habits?

[short-circuit]

I clap 3 times, turn around once anitclockwise, 3 star jumps and sacrifice a baby goat before i go on a ride.

on a commute i just do the claps.

Yes but you've also got to put your mouthguard in and turn your eye lids inside out before draining the oil sump and revving the tits off it cold

Got a 86 GSXR does exactly what you mention.
I been told full choke to start her, dont touch the throttle, it runs, sort of, but very hesitantly, ANY throttle at all at this stage and it dies.
I just keep starting it no throttle after about six attempts, its away.
Once warm no problems at all.
When you find the secret please let me know.

I give it just a touch of throttle with full choke. But only the smallest amount. Too much and she dies. I really wanna raise the idle but for the life of me I can't find where to do it. Any ideas?

depends on the model, if you have, I have knurled nut right side of bike (when sitting on it) behind and between 1 st and 2 nd carb, but my manual shows an alternative Carb idle adjustment knurled nut in front,/ below the outside carb on the left hand side. take your pick
