Starting a 440ex in the cold...HELP??
#1
My 2002 400ex is bored to a 440 and has a white bros. pipe on it. It will NOT start below 40 degrees. I really want to ride in the winter but its kinda hard to ride when it wont start...Help please?!?!

What size is the pilot jet? Any mods to the intake? The jet should be at least a 42 for even a stock motor.
Be easy on the throttle...the accelerator pump can easily flood a cold motor.
If all else fails...have your buddy hook up a tow strap, and bump start it. Even with a flooded motor, it should start by bump starting.

Try the #42 pilot jet, both you and the bike will like it better.
