Honda CBR600 won't start

[FROSTY:Me]

Ive got a 96 cbr here and it seems to prefer full choke and no throttle to start from cold

[johnsf1980]

Full choke, no throttle and two of us pushing it got it started on the 2nd try.

I guess that confirms that the battrey is nearing the end of its life? It wont start off the battrey even after a long ride...

Thanks for the advice everyone

I have a cb250 that spent 10 days in the workshop,(had never had a problem starting prior) when I got it back it took a 1 hour ride before it stopped cutting out while idling. and two weeks later, which was 1 week ago, it takes 1 to 2 mins to start in the morning. It is parked in a carport and the choke makes no difference, it will usualy cut it off, but once started it is fine for the rest of the day. I put it down to the cold mornings.
I had a cb400 in 1980 that never had a problem in the mornings so I'm not sure if my usumptions about the cold is right.

It's either electric or fuel :-) Whip out one of the pugs and check it's getting a spark. If it is, then I wouldn't bother checking the whole lot, just check the 1st and 2nd cylanders (should be on two separate coils). Failing that, the obvious one is the battery terminal...nah...fark that..the starters turning so it won't be that.. Failing that, you need to check she's getting fuel. If it's carb then the quickest check is to unscrew one of the overflow's and check that fuel is pissing out. Failing that...it's probably bike shop time. Maybe CDI unit or you've knocked your mixture screw or summit.

I'd contact the workshop and tell them what is happening --may be a maladjustment
