Ive got an 01 ds stock motor with add ons and when it gets below 40 degrees I might as well not even try to start it. when its warm it takes a few cranks and sometimes I have to hook up the battery to the charger to give it more power. What could be the problem?

 

How many hours are on it? You may need to have the valves checked.

 

Thats what Ive been thinking whats wrong but wasnt for sure. I traded a scrambler for it about a year ago and the guy who owned it before me said he rode it quite a bit and I go riding about every month. nobody has ever been inside the motor that i know of so im sure they have never been adjusted.

 

I'd have them looked at. Good chance they need to be adjusted. Its about $140 around here, I've heard that price is a little high but thats what its going for here in SD. Good luck

 

I live in wisconsin, where the temp gets below 10 to 20 degrees. I just pull the chock and it starts right up. I would check the plugs and then the carb, to see if it need cleaning.

 

Mine also starts easy with choke when its below freezing.
