Questioni read the how to start a motocycle on about.com but i think i may still be doing somthing i dont realize. wrong. is there a trick or a nice tip i dont know about?. basically , it ALwasy stalls . i sit on it ,, i turn the key, the engine is running. so then... step by step PLEASE . but for referance here is what i do.
i pull the clucth as i push the start button i as read to.
i let go of the clutch and start button once my engine is going steady.
now what i can't seem to perfect. but i have only had it two days now . but im eager to get started.
i pull the "shift pedal". up , and i see neutral light up.
so now im in neutral and hear engine running steady.
i pull the clutch all the way in and step on the pedal while apllying some throttle all at same time. im sure this may be wrong but thats what i was told to do. and in the about.com faq its doesnt exactly say otherwise. anyway i do this and i shoot foward. then eveything goes silent.
i push start button and try to repeat. pleas a detailed treat me like an ediot step by step would clear things up. and help ALOT. thank you !
oh yes btw i own a kawasaki 440ltd(belt drive).
AnswerHello,
This can be several problems or a user error. The first thing i would try is giving it some gas when u let off the clutch, that way its getting gas mixture along with allowing the engine to warm up. Another problem may be the carburetor idle speed. Try tuning it, in which your manual can tell you how it works with more details on how much to turn. If you get the idle speed up it usually can idle it good. Let me know if this doesnt work and I will help you troubleshoot more. Thank you
Andy
