[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]When it sits over night and I try to start it winds over until I kill the battery.I boost it along with pumping throttle and it will start.After I ride it and it warms up it starts very easy every time.I put a new plug in with no differance.I have 1100 miles on it.Could it be a carb problem.It was really annoying when I got up at 5:00am this morning for the first day of bow hunting season for deer and it would not start.Finally after boosting and four trys it went.For the first 1000 miles it was as simple as giving it alittle choke and hit the button.

I'm no expert at all, but my dealer told me to bring my machine back after about 300 miles because the valves will need adjusting, especially with cold weather coming to help it start better. Good luck.
