YBR-G starting issues in Cold weather

[waqas.taurus]

Hello ybrians, I have been using this one for almost 1.5 yr now. It runs great, no issue at all But starting it in the cold mornings is a real bitch. Electric Self and Kick both r useless along with the choke. Chanda start occasionally help a little

Is there anyone else who might have faced a similar issue sometime in the past??

I faced this issue many times in my 2015 YBR on really cold mornings. I am in Abbottabad. My 2019 G does that when not started for a couple of days otherwise starts up after a couple of tries with choke on. I can never get it started with kick. Nowadays the temperature here drops to even -1 early morning sometimes. Will try if it starts then. What's your location ?

5W-20 / 0W-20 might be a good lube for ignition But it is really bad to run this machine in the long run.

from ISB bro. Here temp is still doesnt drop below 5 these days. I tried starting it again this morning. Iftikhar Bhai from Mareer Hassan told me some tips on how Not to flood the Carb or how to empty it.

But still it took my some good 15 minutes to get it going

Bro your bike carb mixture will be extra opened than engine need

Use some starting fluid spray and see if it helps.

when the engine is hot, set idle speed to 1500 rpm.

adjust the tappets

make sure mixture is proper

it should start easy

I tried starting the bike after two days, it fired up for a couple of seconds then died and not starting after that. Tried kick, starter, choke on/off. No use.

Bike is still refusing to start. The electric starter is starting to die. What to do ?

[waqas.taurus]

it was mostly mixture issue and choke. It is working great now...
thanks to everyone who replied

may be youre flooding the carb while attempting to start it. Give it a full throttle to clear it out

[waqas.taurus]

if nothing else worked, then attempt a dhakka start and make sure its in the right speed before letting go the clutch

On cold days, mine sometimes dies a few seconds after starting and I have to keep an eye on rpm meter while giving self and absolutely no throttle, as soon as it sustains 500rpm, rev first, release self later and it runs. Never took more than 4 5 seconds of self.

Can you explain. I am real novice when it comes to bikes. I tried full throttle but it didn't work.

I went out yesterday in my street which is on a downhill. Almost killed myself pushing the bike up THREE times. Every time i got up to speed coming down, i put the bike in second gear, it started for a couple of seconds then died. It happened all three times. After that i was dying and went home lol.

@hamza_xeg, did you manage to it resolved ? I'm facing same issue with my new YBR. First starts then dies and only starts at dhaka.
