I have an RD125lc with minkuni vm22ss carb from a 10w model and am running a 155 main het.

My bike will not idle at all in the this cold weather. It starts with the choke on but then takes up to 15mins before I can pull away without it stalling. I then need to ride with the choke on for the rest of my journey.

Even with the choke on the bike dies whenever I come to a junction of go too slowly. I have to pull up using the back brake and continuously rev the bike to keep it running when at a stand still.

Its only started doing this in these 0-2 degree temperatures.
