Hi guys,
I need your help with this issue on my xtreme. I ride a 2010 xtreme and clocked around 50,000 KM on it. Recently the battery went kaput and I have been using kick start ever since. This is the original battery that came with the bike. As expected there is no horn, indicators or proper headlight without the battery. I plan on getting the battery replaced later this week.
I got the oil changed around 200Kms back. I find this strange starting problem. When I kick start (using choke) the bike, the engine fires up. It idles properly for a few mins, when I sit on the bike (after unchoking) , slot it into gear and move forward it dies all of a sudden. After that no amount of kicks can start the engine.
This evening, I decided to take a closer look. I removed the seat and inspected the air filter, it was fairly clean. I turned the handle and kicked it, the bike started without any fuss. I did not even use the choke. After I idled the bike, I turned the handle bar, the engine died. I noticed this a couple of time. Anyone else facing this issue ? What is the solution.
