viper Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Thanks guys for all the input. I passed over all the info you guys gave me to the dealership. I just want to ride it so bad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thats_a_five Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Viper: I 100% agree with andy1. That_a_five - even though 4RT and TR280 are EFI - they are very different bikes and start much differently. Yes, you are correct, they are very different bikes. I thought I had made it clear that I was describing how the EFI on my 4RT was affected by the starting procedure. My point was to have Viper consider both mechanical factors and starting technique factors in his quest to get the bike running. I did find it interesting, when Lotus54 described his starting technique for his Ossa Explorer, that it is very similar to mine. Particularly the need to leave the throttle untouched while starting the bike. Just trying to help a fellow rider. I know you regularly help many riders as well. Cheers.

viper Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Oops... it was just a technique issue basically I was just kicking it with the crank midway. What I do now is take it to the top then I use my hands to push it down one notch. Then give it 1 or 2 kicks it fires right up from cold. I can do it justt from sitting down without my left leg high and im only 5'7. Now I cant believe how easy it starts! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialtrial Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Perfect! Glad you got it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thats_a_five Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 That is the kind of fix we like: No parts, no labor charge, no "leave the bike for a couple weeks for us to be sure we find that problem." Now get out and RIDE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
