Hi,

I used to have this problem with starting bike in the morning and when I'm off work.

Pull choke, hold throttle, and maintain it a few minutes to prevent it from dying it off.

 

But last week, a relative of mine help me do some wire grounding and replace a cable and the bike starts when tickle! He replace a cable as big as those speakers and said it'll improve the start of bike.

 

And also, I notice it improve up a bit on the throttle.

Today, evening, I started my bike at 1 tickle after it have been left untouch for more than 48hours.

 

Weird but it works.

Cheers!

Oh my god!! That is one BIG piece of good news man!! Gonna try that and see if I can get the same result as you. Thanks for the tip!!!

Vince > Which ground cable did you change? Have you changed the spark plug cables?

Evenig bros of Duke's rider

 

 

Vincekam is my relative whom i get along well wif him, recently heard abt his bike prob not able to start like others do meaning to say vince have to pull choke each and every time he start the bike.

 

So i decided to check it out why this prob kept pestering vince's bike, meanwhile i intro to him abt this cable things which basically gonna improve,perform,prevent and produces great advantage to it.

 

W/out hesitate vince said : " ONZ" la let do it but will draw or drain the batt boh? cousin said: no, but boost ur duke and not pushing ur bike to perform, wire i did on vince's bike are as below,

 

 

notice his batt negative wire harden prob remedy.

 

Rectifier's stock grounding rusted prob remedy.

 

block insufficient current flow prob remedy.

 

 

After all vince's bike seem to perform well regardless of starting his bike at any pt of time, performances, throttling wise and nevetheless smoother journey.

Rehdeer - Got the same probs as you but after a battery change, all was alright. Try pushing starting your bike in second gear with the choke pulled and if it works then ride it for half an hour to determine re-charging. FYI, Rectifier/Regulator for our bike cost 500+ from Minerva when i last called in to enquired. Best to put a voltmeter on to justify the cause.

 

 

Vince - Your relative the one with the Super Four? Kekeke!

 

 

Contacted - Buy one H4 light Bulb and DIY, if you don't know how then look for me! If your don't mind normal orange coloured H4 lightbulbs, i do happen to have some spares.

More observation:

- headlight is still on, very bright

- horn totally gone case, no sound

- signal lights came on for a while, then went off

- checked all fuses, all ok

 

Chatted with Vince just now, suspect some parts of the electrical system might still be wet from this morning's wash and might be reason why the bike can't start. Then the whole day rained, bike never really got a chance to be fully dried. Going to try again tomorrow, keeping my fingers crossed.

 

Otherwise tomorrow may try to push start...

Errm, same symptoms leah! => Battery kaput! Changed to a "Yusa" wet cell one at Minerva at $100. Do you know how old is your battery? If it's old enough then invest in one instead of re-charging it but whatever it is, make sure you put on a voltmeter to see if the Rectifier/Regulator is working. When push start, best to pull choke and once it starts then throttle and close choke.

You changed to another wet battery? I was told to change to a dry battery. I think the current one in my bike is a wet one.

 

Paiseh... What is regulator/rectifier? How to check?

I'm not a fan of high mount or sidemount exhausts, cos I think the original lowmount suits the monster style best, but this one is really nice

Where's the End Cans????? WICKED! Really WICKED!

Errrm, Dry Cell Battery is a much more expensive option for me as i am keeping this bike for another 10 more months only. Put on a Voltage Meter/Multi-Meter and start your bike to see if there is proper re-charging by throttling it, this determines the status of your rectifier/regulator's condition.
