Is it me or do other 400ex owners have a hard time getting the 400ex started and warmed up in the morning on a cold day? After its warmed up everything is fine....

Yes, they are jetted lean.. Pump the gas a few times before starting it when cold to solve the hard start problem.. or if you live where it is cold alot go up 2 sizes on your pilot jet

Maybe its just me but i have no problem starting my 400 in the cold. i live in illinois and its gets cold here. what year is it a 99 or 00? Have you checked your idle to see if it is on track?

Also JRM, does the replacement pilot jet come with a jet kit or is it ordered seperatly?
thanks for any replys.
