Wow.
Amazing spec!! Big money spent there lol

My bike has 5800 miles. Very well serviced. Oil is new. Battery is fine. It seems more fuel related maybe? Could be spark.
It fires up ASAP when warm. But when first start if the day it does have to crank over a fair bit before it fires up, I don't know about carbs atall.

Do you have any spare bits for sale for drz then considering you had a few?

yeah bits and bobs. more bits like chain guards,think I have a blue right hand rad panel,spare top end,forks,swing arm, got a few bits down the work shop. Not many plastics though, just start the bike on full choke don't touch the throttle see how that goes,gradually move the choke in when the bike warms up.. have you owned from new? you might want to get a carb check and set up at HM Racing, they stick it on the dyno. Soon sort that starting issue out mate.

Oh right , let me know if you ever find both blue rad panels, may be interested.

It doesn't start without throttle and choke just on. I have to open throttle slightly so perhaps I should tweak the idle a bit.
Yeh I think when my exhaust is fitted I may get the carb tweaked.
Where is HM racing? I live east grinstead.

The previous owner had it from new, then I bought it 10years later lol. Andy Lush used to own it. He was a member of here.

Oh right, not far atall! Is it red dog motorcycles? Is it part of that. Mine has a dynojet kit fitted and 3x3 mod, so it has been adjusted to suit. Perhaps not when exhaust is fitted.
