The bike starts fine, leave choke at 4k revs for a min or so..

When i put it into first got to 4 revs (no choke), and then i pull away, or i would like to. as i release the clutch the revs drop to 0 and the bike stalls if i dont catch it in time.

I have to get the bite when im moving now, any ideas?

rotate your right wrist through the lateral axis............ie, give it some more throttle!

I'd leave a bit of choke on for a couple more mins (whilst riding), before closing it off completely.

I would be checking the carbs, but it could be just winter - give the bike some more warm-up time

I would also agree that your not giving your bike choke for long enough. Getting the carbs ballanced is a good idea.

alrite, ill point that out when it gets serviced.

thanks

Get the carbs cleaned out with Red-Ex or something... There is also some stuff you can get that stops the carbs from icing up... Silkolene, I think....

Ask Bella - She uses it...

Im not too sure where you get carbicing from when its obvious that the bike is lacking from choke before being ridden off.

It all sounds a bit testnichal to me. Leave the bike in the garage till the sun comes out!

Carb icing is a problem that usually happens when you're on the move.
