Hi,just deristricted my 125re with the speedo trick goes 20 mph quicker now,however it's a bugger to start in the mornings 4 or 5 times before it starts,just put a brand new plug in it, decoked the exhaust and put some new quality 2 stroke oil in it,its garaged, any ideas?

You"l know if its rich, it splutters on excelleration. [ four strokes when easing of throttle too,].  my money is on the choke lever not fully on ,:rolleyes:

Whats the spark like?

Mine was weak and caused no end of problems when cold starting. Traced it to dodgy connections on the source coil, a quick solder and all has been good.

I have found that even after a short rest, if the exhaust is cold, then choke is needed.

 

My old RM race bike however, only needed choke at the very start of the day, after that it would start off choke all day.

 

Sometimes they can be a bit 'quirky' and you need to find the way it likes to start :-)
