I tried to tune the idling screw and set the idling to just above 1000 rpm.. and last night I didnt turn the pertol off.. Guess what, today morning I didnt even use the choke and with just a single click... the engine came to life...lol..

      Hi bro,

      Even my bike has an issue, but its not on cold start. It is on heat up. When I go to some traffic area, where gear shift is between 1st n 2nd only, the engine gets heat up n it stops in the middle, and on cooling it for 5-10 min, it again starts up. This issue has started around six to eight months back.
      i have even changed the CDI for this but still facing the issue, and its really embarassing.
      A few days back I opened the carburetor myself n found some wax kind of gel at the base, is it because of that or the air filter issue?

      Please guide me on this , what might be the problem.
      Six to eight months and you did not do anything about it? Maybe you ride less distances or do not find much use of your bike dude. I am curious to know as to who suggested to change the CDI for this issue?
      Does your bike also turn off when you put it on side stand for sometime while idling and then take off?

        well I go to city area very less frequently, I asked many mechs but no one had any solid justification. n it does not have anything to do with side stand....rest it runs very fine....
        but if it is hot, then it feels like the petrol supply has stopped n it starts jerking.

          Please read the question properly. The bike turning off after taking off the side stand when idle is one of the symptoms when the carb tuning is bad. I had this issue on my Pulsar. Once the air lock was released from the carb, the issue vanished.

          To me, looks like the AFR setting is lean in the carb.
          BTW, when was the last time you had the carb, spark plugs and air filter cleaned?

            It may be because of what you are saying...Actually I had asked mechanic to clean up carb, but, not sure whether he did it or not. Carb I have seen in the bike, but, where is the Air filter in that section?

              You need to remove the shield to gain access to air filter element.
