hard cold starting
i was wondering if i could get some help here, I just recently bought a 02 ds650 (love the bike), the problem is , that is one hard bike to start cold, I basically have to hook up the battery charger before i put the key in, cause i know im gonnia kill the batt. trying to start it, I was told to rebuild the carb but i just wanna check with someone that knows before i venture into the air box. Any advice or suggestions would be helpful

I wouldnt kill the batt trying to start the bike....if you are cranking it that long and its still not starting it isnt going to. Cranking the starter that long is just hard on it. Also...what are your mods? you may need to richen the bike up some. Is your choke out all the way? that last click can be a hard one to get...

Well i would have to say that your valves are off...as for putting you hand over the intake it def works because I have had to do that a few times also...In this case I wouldn't say that it's your carb, but it may need cleaning anyhow...just ride it and have fun...also I would recommend getting a battery tender and check your spark plugs.
