Cold starts:

Alkers · 2010-12-18 21:53:18

Had fierce bother getting the bike going this evening with the cold. I reckon a new battery is needed, after two or three attempts at starting, the lights start to dim and I had to bump start it (with difficulty). Out of interest what's the best procedure for trying to start from cold? Full choke with no throttle?
