How do you start your bike?
Hi,just after some feedback on how my fellow c1,2 owners start their bike from cold.Full choke,any throttle,no throttle,half choke..ect..ect...
My bike rides beautifully smooth,but can be a pain to start sometimes(always starts tho).Usually turns over a fair few times before it fires up.When warm it virtually starts on the button.
cheers

Same as Torque. Although in the colder weather she sometimes needs a touch of throttle from cold aswell as the choke. Never failed on me yet.
It's not the pace of life that scares me...It's the sudden stop at the end

I agree with torquec1, athough the C2 I have now, wants full choke and some throttle for some reason, probably the dyno jet kit and race can, then again I'm new to it, and still learning about it.

I usually press the start button, failing that, bump it down the hill
