Am writing from Singapore.
Gotten my license 6 months ago and then gotten this almost 9 year old bike (done 49,000 km since year 2004) recently.
My first one.
Sent for a major servicing and changed a lot of stuff.
Starting the bike after parked for one or two days seems to be a problem.
It idles for a couple of second and stalls.
I can feel / hear that the idle is 'weak' or the engine is 'lacking' something.
Sometimes if it idles, it will also stall once I throttle it.
I then realised that i have to start a few more times and let the idle 'warm up' the engine.
Once its warmed up, the bike runs fine and smooth.
Will try to send the bike back to the workshop for a checkup soon.
Cheers !
