Exorcist my bike?? Edit - Knackered.

[JiveBunny]

My bike Daelim roadwin 125 fi not Chinese no it is Korean.

Problem is constant hard starting from a cold engine.

I have changed the battery to a motobatt one this did not fix the issue.

I have changed the oil + filter (yesterday) and today the plug.

It still takes three presses on the button before it eventually fires up dies and a final press to keep it ticking over.

It starts first time every time from a warm engine.

What other checks should I do?

Is it because of the cold temperatures? This only started late last Nov.

What do I say if I take it back to the shop?

It has a three year warranty.I have used it in the past for a wire coming lose from the cdi unit which has come lose since. I have sealed it in again with ignition seal and cable tied a milk bottle to the frame to deflect all the rain and snow which works.

Could the cdi unit be the underlining issue causing it to hard start?

Just use the 2009 R6 you claim to own .

[JiveBunny]

[Torque Wrench]

R6 OEM Clip On with Switch Gear L £50, R £50
R6 Clip On from Hong Kong (Pair) £45, Driven £70, Renthal £95
R6 OEM Rear Set L £25, R £35

Is that all the damage you have?, How did you do wreck it?

[P.]

Bent both clip ons?

R6 doesn't have bars

But, valve clearances is what I would check.

[JiveBunny]

It just doesn't feel like it did before I crashed it into my gate at low speed and dropped it. I need a well trained eye look over it for a real quote not some neck beard fantasist on the internet.

It is far too pretty to commute too and from work on anyway which is all I seem to do these days and would mean leaving it on show next to 50cc peds. That is way I favour my 125.

Valve clearances after 15K miles?

How much is that likely to cost?

Edit bars or not the front wheel wobbles from the shocks down.

I tell you what Jive Bunny, you prove you own a 2009 R6 and post some pics of the damage you describe.
I will put Renthal Clip-Ons on my 2010 R6 and give you the OEM ones for free.

@Jive Bunny

I will up the stakes.

You can also have the OEM Levers, and I will pay the postage.

I don't know the bike but as it's a 125 I would imagine it just has a simple 2-valve top end with rockers and tappets.

In that case adjustment should easily be doable at home with a socket set and feeler gauges. If a 17 year old me, can do it step-by-step reading haynes manual on a SR125 then it's no great task.

Fuck paying 200 quid for someone to fiddle my tappets! I guess if you have money to burn... As a kid I had very little cash and that was definitely the driving force for me learning mechanics.

EDIT:

Just looked thru the owners manual, it is a 4valve sohc engine, so should be easily able to adjust valves yourself. According to the manual, the valves want doing every 4000km.

Chances of it stopping the hard starting issue is what? I am not capable of doing it myself if I couldn't even screw a spark plug in so I won't even bother my luck it just won't go to plan and end up fucked up in the shop.

I do not have the money for "regular scheduled maintenance" £75.00 for a service every 3K miles? I have changed the oil, filter,plug and lubed/adjusted chain which is all a service of a 125 4stroke consists of according to people on here why would I hand over my hard earned for that?

I am close to selling it along with my R6 using the money to buy a nice warm car this is my first winter biking it and it has been nothing but stress since Nov - Now mainly because it kept cutting out in the rain but that is fixed now. Maybe buy another bike in the future for more sunny days I just can not afford to keep paying out money I don't have on top of bills. I never have any fucking spare money as it is my coat has been ripped for the past two months.

What more I got stung for a £75.00 bank charge today because my bike made me over draw because it fucked up (Wet coils) and I had to get AA out again who was next to useless sixth time in three months so in theory I am working tonight for nothing.

TLDR; My life is shit so I apologise for my self.

You don't own an r6 untill you post pics with your BCF name on a price of paper taped on the seat

On a serious note, if it starts fine unless it is cold and runs fine once warmed up then perhaps it is the choke?

Unsure if it will have an auto choke or manual but either way it should be easy enough to check. A very crude way of seeing if it is the issue is to slightly cover the intake to the airbox to restrict the airflow and richen the mixture going into the engine, effectively mimicking what a choke does.

I suppose the other thing to ask, and don't take this the wrong way, is are you even aware of a choke and what it does and how it works? I only ask as everybody has to learn sometime and you claim to be a n00b.

Many chokes are visible if you remove the airbox anyway so it will be easy to see whether or not it works, this is the best bet and is not more than an hours work for even the n00biest of n00bs.

hard starting it most certanly will be valve clearances

they can go wrong after a few hundred miles

thay are one of the better ones though
