Erm.....

Talk me through your process of starting your bike from cold? ( or trying to start it in other words )

well, its always been up(fual tap), kick stand up, small choke, and kick,(in neutral) it takes a few times before it will start at 15000 revs, then after a couple of seconds it dies, so i add more choke, kick it and it goes, then starts to die, so i add more choke to try to keep it going but it just dies again, so try again but rev it up using throttle, and the same again. sometimes when i played with the fual tap it has run and can get revs up, but then it dies again.
Thanks again. think maybe carbs flooded, i have charged the battery and changed the plug.

[18_stuart_88]

One of my mates has the NSR125K and is having similar kinda problems!

If you use full choke and it fires up keep the throttle on it lightly for about 1min then take choke off but keep revs up! Then you should be free to take off after about 3mins or soo! Also look at your manual ( if you dont have one im sure sombody here will have an electronic one you can have ) and ajust your idle thing to save t dying on you! Im no sure where it is on your bike as i dont have that model but it should say on the manual.

Also if its not firing first time i suggest you buy new a Spark Plug, you old one may not be sparking anymore, therfor causing it multiple tyrs to get you going.

Is everythin like fuel and 2 stroke toped up?

It probly wouldnt do you any harm to clean out your carb with WD-40. There not realy much to cleaning your carb you can do it with it still intack or with it fully out. just spray inside and outside of it with this and should go good.

thanks stu, yeah put a new spark plug in it today, as with the carb, dont really fancy opening it up, as i'm not a bike expert(but am getting into it) as this can be a bit fiddly cant it??
Thankyou very much for your help
Baz.

[18_stuart_88]

Honestly mate im no expert as a few people on here could tell you!

Do you have a pic of your bike?

If you can access your engine compartment through either under you tank or through your fairing and are able to see your carb just shoot the hell out of it with WD-40. I thought at first fiddling with my engine was a no goer. But almost every week ive got my bike in bits a lying on the floor, trying to get a few problem fixed ( Flat spot and de-restrict it ).

i'll try the wd40 then tomorrow, just click the link below for the pic, only had it since last wednsday, and the bloke i bought it off had it going as i saw him ride it before i handed over the cash(£600). so it must be the fuel tap which i have been playing with.

hi all,well after about 10 minute trying to start it, i followed the insructions above, and eventually started and seems finenow, i have left it running for about 45 min now with no choke, but i have just gone out there and its over-revving at 5000 now?? had to cut it off, with stuff coming out the bottom, and its hot, hopefully its only the wd40 i sprayed on the carb.
