This is weird, and I've had this problem since I bought my bike 4 months ago. It seems that if its below 70-75 degrees F outside, I cannot start my bike, at all. It cranks and just barely turns over, but won't start (even on a push start).
I've kreemed my tank and replaced the fuel lines recently. I have a new battery (fully charged with enough electrolyte) new(er) spark plugs (correct heat range and gap) and a new air filter.
If its warm or hot outside it will always start, but sometimes requires a push.
Any ideas??
have you ever played with your idle mix screw?
You are using full choke right?? and hit the throttle a bit on start as well??
Could be your choke is stuck closed??? check the choke lever on the carb.. work the choke lever and make sure all is moving ok :thumb: :thumb:
Just a guess.. something to try

I play with mine all the time... Oh... You meant... Riiiight. :lol:
I need to get my mind out of the gutter. :oops:
yes, I've been using the choke - there's nothing wrong with the choke. Adjusting the idle screw hasn't helped...
Does it sound like it is turning over at a slower speed in cooler weather? Have you checked the battery condition?
:dunno:
Same thing has been happening to me since a few days.
Temperatures drop around the Same.
Bike does not start instantly once I push the start button.
It cranks & will only start when I twist throttle...it was barely able to start.
It stalls at every corner
