Help tomorrow arvo?

[ital916]

Na I try at first without choke, after ten min of trying I try without choke. After another ten min of trying I stop trying lol Anyone is welcome to come around and try start her. I haven't giben it a go today yet.

[Ragingrob]

I'd cruise round if I was in town but I at home way out so yeah... Maybe give her a blanket to calm her down?

[ital916]

lol have a laugh all ye with electric starts. Guess this is what owning a two stroke i all about huh

[aewilliam]

Sup!
My baby RS likes to punish me with about 5minutes of kickstarting if i leave her alone for about a week (i should be punishing myself really...how dare i...)

so your RG minutes is jsut a sadistic, or masochistic b!tch if thats how she likes it...

From what ive been told, it doesnt matter if your battery is flat, you should still be able to hill-start it? (someone DO correct me if i am wrong here...)

I did hillstarted mine when my battery died (it seemed to anyways...) on me...

WHY did it die?

Cos i spent a TWENTY minutes straight of trying to kickstart it over 3 days, only two days after getting my bike. Only to realise i had the kill switch on.

So try your killl switch Dri. Maybe...just maybe...

[ital916]

Well i'll have to find out later, gotta jet to a family thing now crap. Will keep updated if she starts. Guess if anyone is keen to help tomorrow will have to be it lol Was hoping to have an arvo to work on her today but fam and the fucking torrential rain has intervened lol

[ital916]

Success, after thirty min of kicking she fired, sounded like she was clogged or something cos she kinda did a big black fart and then she was kicking. She'll need a good thrash to get back into commuting shape. Oh and she started with half choke on *haha take that squiggles*, no choke and just kicking just wasn'y working lol here's hoping when i go out tomorrow morning to start her she does start.

There's a coro loop ride next Sat, that'd be a good work over to help get into the commute for uni!

[motorbyclist]

correct me if i'm wrong, but for a bike without a fuel pump or anything of the like, you don't actually need a battery to start it...

so flat battery shouldn't be a problem...

either way, i reckon it's just a case of sitting too long

[Squiggles]

Rev 'er guts out for an extended period of time... motorway in 1st/2nd anyone?

[aewilliam]

So... the RG was being the sadistic b1tch then.

Yup the pig plack puff of smoke is a sign of anger and fury at your neglect.
BUT it also is the welcome smell of a 2T-er waiting to be caned by her massstahhh... the masochist steps outve the shadows.

And the choke? i have to use the choke if im starting, even if its only been an overnight sleep. (is that a not-so-good thing?)

But turning the throttle that 1/8th way doesnt do any good for me...thought the manual says to...

You shouldve dropped her off at mine while you were away - the neighbours wouldve found out what a 3cyl 400cc 2stroke MIGHT sound like if i had ur RG going with my RS. And maybe even got Kyle to ride it with me.

It's a good day for working on bikes - pity mine needs nothing doing to it! Let me know what the plan is as i'm just mucking around today.

Mine is always in nice and clean condition.

yeah, the DR (that went) never had a battery, Stephen just kicked it over and that was also enough to get the headlight going too
