Hi guys, since the winter has come round my DTR doesnt like starting one bit. At first i thought the cold weather may be the problem, but now im starting to think there is a fault with it as i have lost quite a bit of compression. You can kick the bike over as many times as u want but nothing (sometimes u may be lucky n it will start). The bike will start if i bump it and will ride normally. It will also kick over once the bike is warm. Is it a seal??? if so which one???

Any advice or feedback is much appreciated

many thanks

Adam

Before you get carried away are you sure the choke works?

Well we have had some desperately low temperatures, I hope your anti-freeze coolant isnt weak.

Have the compression tested if you think it's low.
