My 03 BA struggles on cold starts. I thought that was characteristics of the engine, now I do not think so. Yesterday I rode about 30 miles in high 40's or low 50's and after stopping for 25 minutes, the bike seemed to run nearly like it was setting over night. It struggled as I gave it gas for a couple of miles then smoothed out. I have never experienced this in the summer months quite to that extent and after it sets over night in this weather it is hard to start. Is this normal or should I start checking. I use to ride a 1976 Bonn in Britain (in the 70's so you know how old I am), can't recall the bike being so cold natured. And it was kick and ride. Thanks folks, wealth of info here.
