Rough warm up?

Right, this morning i tried the full choke method and sure enough it revved into life but while it was revving it was still spluttering for a minute, so this idea of moisture contamination is sounding much more of a good thing to me.
It wasn't your average cold start struggle, it was a similar sound to when you get carb icing.
Then a minute later it was clear and purring quite happily.

Definitely worth trying a carb drain :-).  Glad it's somewhat improved.  It may be worth trying half choke tomorrow if it doesn't seem happy.


I would really recommend you use the choke from cold every time as the bikes are designed for it.  It only takes 30 seconds so there isn't any reason not to.
