    To this part of the country, coldest is the December and no issues faced with cold starts also. BTW running on NGK G-Power since almost the beginning.

    The thing is, after a 3 or 4 days out in the winter, if accidentally it doesn't catch the first spark, it just doesn't want to start anymore.

    Any light on this?
    Some instances like stuck valve, worn carb slides, dead battery (end of life) includes in that 1%. Don't like decimels [emoji13]

    Both are same hardware-wise.

    I also have the double disc variant and haven't faced any starting issues .. but like you have heard that DD has battery issues .. I saw a person with rear drum having battery issues at the SVC .. his bike was not that old .. i think a year old .. and his battery was dead .. i asked him why .. he said he didn't use the bike for like 15 days and now the battery is dead .. so i think everybody has different experiences .. you can go with what majority of the people are saying .. personally i would go with a bike having FI with no kick rather than a carb bike with a kick

    4 years of experience
    I've used the V1 a few times, so I'm kinda used to the kick. Saves you from some worry.
