sloppy starting
Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2013 10:52 pm
IV had this problem since iv had my bike and a few of my friends have it with there zxr 400s too..
its not that the bikes dont start, they fire up almost everytime, but they seem to be very sloppy and have trouble starting without a blip of the throttle...
most of the time i have to turn my lights off to give the battery a bit more power, the starter motor turns over fine and even with a charged battery i have the same problem, i just seem to be constantly having to hold the starter buttom for about 10 seconds until i finally get some sign of ignition then i give it a blip of the throttle and it fires up sloppy and slowly build up the revs, this is from cold but from hot it fires up and idles nicer and quicker but still takes atleast 10 seconds of turning over.. its almost as if its starving then all of a sudden fuel finally gets chucked in.
my friend has been trying to solve it for a long time but cannot fix it, where as i just get over it and carry on with holding the starter button lol
but iv always wondered do all these bikes do this? or is there a way around it?
