I just got my runner yesterday morning. It appears I have problem starting the bike at the very first time. Until yesterday evening I still cannot one time start and have to second-third try and maintain Throttle for about 10 s before the idling become stable.

 

Is it normal?

it got even worst as I try to move off my bike in the morning. I could only start after over 10 attempts. As i move out of the carpark the engine die off. I tried restart again (over 10 tries) and finally i could move my bike. Travelled till about 2km and I stopped at a redlight, the engine die off again.

 

A new bike ... not even 2 days old and having engine problem.

 

can anyone advice me?

[Dafanshu]

I found out that the rubber which is attached to the sparkplug was not fixed into the sparkplug! the start becomes easier as i press and turn my throttle.

I am the person whom u happen to call today...lucky it was juz the spark plug cable dropping out...but anyway kindly be reminded dat the tank of the vxr06 allows water to seep in rather easily..so u might wanna be careful of that before u end up wif a fuel tank mixed wif petrol n water.

[FinG]

so u go down and help him buy plug huh bro:)

today engine died 3 times on the road with a total mileage of 112KM. Called up Piaggio and they towed my bike away. Went to Piaggio and was told that the connection from fuel tank to carb was not done properly. finally after they returned the bike to me, I can start my bike with ease.

 

btw the way can someone advice on the Price and selling location of the fuel leather cover to prevent leakage of water into the fuel tank? Right now I cut some plastic to cover the surface (looks UGLY).

[pornoheft]

Its all at Kallang. Oh and spy is right about water seeping through the 06/07 cap. Had it before. I can't even go up a slope!

[FinG]

Bro, don't worry. I also have same experience. I read up the whole manual from the first day i bought my gilera a week ago. U turn to page 30 of the manual. It explains everything why we must slightly untwisted the throttle while the engine is being started.

For those don't have the manual, the reasons is that the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission with a speedvariator and centrifugal clutch.

Hope this info helps to ease ur worries.

ENjoy ur ride coz im enjoying too... Love the bike.....
