Morning Backfire
Problem: When cold, the bike starts OK, drives OK for about 5minutes then stutters and eventualy stalls when coasting to a stop (it can be avoided by tweaking the throttle constantly). After about 10minutes it seems to be OK again! Whats up?
More info:
I've moved to a place nearer my work (3 miles away!) so the bike is doing a lot of small journeys, usually in slow traffic. In the recent cold snap we've had in London, the bike has been slightly more difficult to start (backfiring, stalling on throttle) but does so fairly quickly. It then behaves fine until I hit about 5minutes in and acceleration goes lumpy and the bike wants to stall when not in gear or with clutch fully in. After about 10minutes it seems ok again. The problem doesnt happen on the way home (the bike is in an underground garage- ie its warm). PS if you've read this far- is it a problem that the bike is now making lots of small journeys?
