she starts great when she is cold but if i run her hard then shut off.....i have to wait about ten minutes before she kicks over. When i am done riding i always leave gas off and let her die out before putting her away.

any ideas?

 

This engine is particularly sensitive to flooding. Never ever touch the throtle before or during a hot start. It has a pumper carb, and it will inject raw fuel. If I flood mine, I have to kick it 20 times to clear the carb out.

Also, your decompressor could be messed up????

Valves been adjusted lately?

 

I have never had valves adjusted. I have a hc kit, yoshi exhaust and that is it. Not sure what decompressor unit is or does?<span class="FTHighlightFont"></span ft>

Get those valves adjusted! The most important one is the first one at 20 hours, just after break-in!!! After that, do it at least twice as often as your owner's manual suggests.

The decompressor releases compression during a start to make the engine turn over more easily. The best time to check it is at a valve adjustment.

 

do all dealers perform this? what is the cost?

 

One to two hours labor is the usual.

 

thank you. what should i ask them to do with the decompressor unit?

 

also, why do i need to sometimes empty the carb bowl first in order to start the bike? what issues may the quad have if i have to do this sometimes?
