gassa1 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hi, I've recently bought a 2015 4rt which I'm having a problem starting when cold, once it's warm it seems to start no problem but seems to tick over quite high, could anyone give me any advice on this problem and also tell me what RPM it should run at? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourian Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Tick over is quite high at 1800rpm +/- 100rpm according to manual, as for starting issue when cold, I did find that a slower kick when cold helped starting this weekend.

duggan Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 If your riding regularly it's always worth changing the spark plug every now and then, they do seem to appreciate a fresh plug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Ourian is correct. You do not kick them like a normal bike. Smooth and slow and they fire. I don`t have one, but my boss has six of them. I always forget and kick it hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 New plug and a slow smooth push not a hard kick. I have also found at high altitude or cold days a half kick/push then full kick helps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 A NGK CR5EH-9 spark plug for temperatures below 10°C might also help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Well I get to join the club of starting issues... Bike was running fine, small tip over off a log about 3' up just after getting up on top of it. I wasn't able to get to the bike in time and what seemed to be the bank angle sensor killed the bike. Next thing I know the bike won't start no spark even with the bank angle sensor disconnected. As a doublecheck by disconnecteing the kill switch, changed the spark plug, and made sure my throttle cable had the correct play. But still no luck, no spark.

jrsunt Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Did you link the 2 outside wires together in the block connectork? Has it filled the airhox with the contents of the engine? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Did you link the 2 outside wires together in the block connectork? Has it filled the airhox with the contents of the engine? Link the outside connectors of the bank angle sensor block? guess i missed a step if so. and can give that a try. Wasn't on its side long enough to fill the air box, engine stopped just as i picked it up. Edited February 10, 2016 by jonnyc21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedracer Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 As jrsunt says, you definitely need to link two outside wires, if you remove the BAS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Had I but known... Guess I need to do a better job of searching on how to do it next time. Will be the first thing I do once I get back home this evening. Edited February 10, 2016 by jonnyc21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Update... I now have spark but it still isn't starting. Seems like it isn't getting fuel. Anyone know what voltage the fuel pump works on? 12V? Now that I know I have spark I need other thoughts on what might have stopped working.
