XS650 Addict
HI All,
As I just created in the intro section, I just took ownership of a 1975 xs650b. This is my first older bike so bare with me. I purchased the bike from another forum member in NY and had it shipped to FL. Anyways the PO adjusted the bike up in NY and indicated how it would start 1/2 kicks full choke.
Down here in FL which is obviously warmer. I can only get the bike to start kicking if I leave the choke (enricher) off and give it throttle on the kick? Is this normal? Even once warm I noticed that I had to give throttle to kick-start? Could the problem be my chicken legs and that I am not generating enough force (only weigh 130lb)?
Anyways the bikes been great just wondering if im being a dummy.
