Klx problem

mjs91882 · 12-11-2013, 04:11 PM

Wondering if anyone could help? So my bike has been sitting but been charging for the past two weeks. It's been chilly in upstate Ny,about 25 out now. Went to start her up and she just won't turn over. Put the choke on and it turn it over and again it won't start. It's frustrating. Any advice?? Guess it true there cold blooded :/

Got her running.

If the jetting is lean then it will be difficult to start cold.

Good point from Kato.

Check out a KLX forum and you'll get the details.

You can also 'cheat' BTW with a short blast of ether. She'll light right up.

Emphasis on short.

Just went for a little ride, it's 14 out. Might have to say Mother Nature is a bitch and I can't wait for spring baby!!

Hard core.

I think I held the unofficial record this season of 16 degrees, and I was on a Gold WIng with heated gear!
