Default hawkeye running

have a '06 hawkeye that's had had a few probs but is good now.was stalling under load but after a few tweaks is kickin' some a@#.the only problem now is that it starts abit rough and warms up a bit rough when it's cold.it seems for every 5 degrees or so when it's cold it needs the idle adjusted(that's what i do anyways)to start and warm up smoothly.the bike is new(14 hrs.)any advice?

thanks all[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

yea, take it back to the dealer if its still brand new. there were some carb jetting issues w/ them i beleave that the dealer should be able to fix. theres been alot of post about it.

I have a 2006 Hawkeye, live down South. Mine takes a long time to warm up in cold weather, and seems to run a little rich until it warms up but once it warms up, it is ok.

When I was researching ATVs on which one to buy, read several comments on the Hawkeye "stalling" or "low power"; problem was related to carb jets, especially in cold temps and high altitudes. Replaced jets fixed the problem.
