thebob 18,260 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I'm electrically challenged...LOL The light brightens with gas acceleration and dims when coasting.... Sounds like you have a bad battery. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveCyrus 1,126 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Good point about the battery. Do u think a bad battery will affect my kick starting???? That stupid kick start is super fickle when cold. Link to post Share on other sites
thebob 18,260 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Good point about the battery. Do u think a bad battery will affect my kick starting? A little. The biggest mistake kicking over a TMX is to use the gas. Don't even hold the twist grip until you are used to it. If it won't kick like that, next time it is warmed up back off the screw on the side of the carb until it idles smoothly. Do you understand the choke positions? It has on, middle and off! I never touch it! Link to post Share on other sites
Woolf 8,550 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Do you used the choke when bike is cold ? I think the choke is adjusted with the black lever ( just where the thumb is) Also the mixture could be set too low Edited December 18, 2013 by Woolf Link to post Share on other sites
thebob 18,260 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 That isn't a TMX carb. That has a mixture screw. The only external adjustment is the slide stop on a TMX. Mixture is changed by relocating the clip that holds the needle. Link to post Share on other sites

thebob 18,260 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 When they are set up right it is about the same pressure on the kickstarter as climbing a stair. I usually ride in beach sandals! Link to post Share on other sites

thebob 18,260 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 and that thing has KICK BACK..........like a "mother" Kick back us usually because the twist grip is turned while kicking over. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Oil change for motorcycle is every 2 months? or 3 months? or is it better by miles or kilometers? 3. my kick start sucks ARSE when cold......why, why, why.....?
