    Now have a starting issue on 08

    by Glockit » Sat Nov 09, 2013 3:28 pm

    I bought this bike earlier this year. Recently had the stealer shim the valves and out riding the first time since the shop it died out and I couldnt get it started. I can start sometimes with the choke on but as soon as it shut the choke down it dies out-seems like maybe not getting enough fuel. I adjusted the idle a bit and not sure even where to begin adjusting the fuel air mixture screw. I adjusted a bit each direction and still cannot get the bike running. Any ideas?

    And I had an 05 and I knew the trick to start that bike every time. This one has been extremely difficult.
