Superbyke Rmr Wont Start

[daz223]

Hi everyone.

i bought an 08 plate Superbyke Rmr the other week, at first it started ok but with a little bit of struggle.. wherever i went id have to drive with the choke on for a good bit before i could put it back down for the bike not to cut off at traffic lights etc...
so the other day i tried starting it and wasnt wanting to start, so i got it started by bump starting and it worked!... for about 5 minutes haha then it would just die everytime i pulled the throttle, iv took the carb off, cleaned them and everything.. also checked the spark plug which is getting a spark but it still just wont start.. has anyone else had this problem? if so please help!

Thanks in advance!

Probably not properly tuned carburetor...

Thanks for the reply!

Bit confused though im afraid, when i took the carb apart to clean it i just put it all back together the way it was originally..

My experience is that carburetor shows all the symptoms of a bad tuned carb when it gets cold. Maybe, with this setting, it worked correctly during the summer and warm autumn days, but now not.

My English is poor, so it is difficult for me to walk you through this process, but it's really not a big deal - twisting two screws with screwdriver and checking the color of soot on the spark plug electrodes.

By the way, if you ride your bike in cold weather, it wouldn't be bad to find "hotter" spark plug.

Thank you very much for the help, i will go have another look at the carb and see if there is any screws to adjust and let you know how i get on

Thanks again

Hi i turned one off the screws like you said and the big eventually started after having to bump start it, once it started i let it idle for about 10 mins but evertime i turned the throttle the bike would then just die, do you know why this is?

Thankyou

Make sure you have the petcock figured out on that bike you may have it on reserve? It has a small arrow on it make sure it is pointing to the etching of full, which mean the larger part of the valve knob is pointing down, it is sort of counter intuitive.

What kind of carburetor is on Superbyke RMR: CV type or classic?

Thanks alot once again, the petrol was indeed on reserve but still the bike will not properly start first time and cutting out, on the picture on the link i can see where the idle screw is but cant seem to locate the mixture screw is, just wish my bike would start really wanting to have a go on it haha :(
