Bluesmanhop Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 So I got my Dt175 Running and went out on the streets for the first time ever. Taking it slow here. One thing I found, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, when I have been riding around and stop the bike for a short time, ie getting gas, it's then hard to start. Any idea of what I'm doing wrong or is this something normal? I stalled out a couple times practicing stop and goes on a hill and it would start right back up, but If I stopped the bike for couple minutes it's a hard start.

dt502001 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I would say it's normal just a bit of vaporing/rich try opening the throttle a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesmanhop Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Could I turn the fuel cutoff to off before I stop it? Would that assist or hinder? Just thinking if I shut it off and it thinks it rich. I could starve it alittle then before I shut it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesmanhop Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Pretty sure its not, just the petcock off the tank with a tube to the carb. Nothing fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewElvisFan Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I think this has also answered my post as I am having the same issue on my SR125! Glad it's normal and pointing at a knackered bike! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
