    Hot start problem

    Me old bike sometimes wont start on the starter when hot. Turns over fine but wont fire. Did it last night, so I crash started it and it was fine. Cant see how its amp draw on starter as my bike has a separate stator for ignition. Ideas?

    If you can bump start it... Where's the problem?!?

    I found that if you cant Jump/Bump/Electric start it, THEN you have problems


    Pays to check fuel level
    The only stupid question is a question not asked!

    unrelated really, but on my SRX600 it is very very hard/impossible to start when it is inbetween cold and hot..

    Some old fellas called it "being in limbo"... never got a proper explanation for why it wouldn't start though, starts fine when hot or cold, just not when warmish

    Unrelated to your problem though, sorry.. haha

    Whats your idle set at?
    I set mine as low as I can but sometimes when the bikes hot it idles a little under where I have it set and dies and can be a real pain to fire up, could be the cause also?
    just a thought
