    I got the bike serviced, i.e. change consumables, carb serviced etc. Problem has reduced. But it's not just in the morning. Everytime the bike sits for 1 hour or more the problem happens and I have to use the choke for sometime. Funny thing is, if the bike is sitting in the sun, their is no issue. Behaves normally.
    carb is tuned lean , that's why this behaviour.
    the company setting is 2 turns anticlockwise [360°] from full tight afr screw setting . Do this if you want to.

    Your bike is running lean. I had the same problem. I hope you have changed spark plug and cleaned the fuel line. My bike refused to start every morning. I had to use kicker a lot of times. After tuning carb properly and changing spark plug, it starts with one or two kicks in mornings. Sometimes, there is air lock problem. For that, open the tank for a few seconds and thats it.

    Most probably you are running lean.

    As u say the bike was standing few months it is good to service the crab for smooth performance When u start ur bike in morning run the engine in choke for about 30 to 40 sec ( use the choke slightly too much choke cause high rpm and damages the valves and rockers arms).u can feel the difference try using xtra premium petrol from indian oil

    Hello,

    I just bought a 2017 Karizma R from a friend. Bike had done just 888kms and I got a too sweet a deal to pass it.

    I understand the bike has not been running for a while.

    So now when I start the bike, it takes a while to start while kicking it. Using choke does start it, but still needs a few kicks.

    Then after at low rpm it seems the bike is struggling for fuel, but my 4 wheeler habit is to keep the tank full.
    It jerks till say 3k rpm and then revs clean. But I know the bike is still not run in, so don't want to rev it much.

    A couple of biker friends suggested carb and valves as potential issues considering the bike was just standing for a few months.

    Any suggestions what could be the issue?

    On hot engine when i leave my bike for 2 minutes ,then I am able to find neutral easily


    Also neutral light is blinking in every gear.
    Replaced neutral switch ,and checked wiring for earthing
    but no issues found there.
    are these two things co related ,to the part which helps in shifting gear?
    Check your neutral switch for continuity while shifting gears with a multi-meter.

    The part that deals with the neutral switch and shift quality is the shifter drum.

    If exhaust is fine then SP would most likely be fine as well.

    Given Shell HX3/AX5 20W50 a shot.

    Motul's tend to vanish for some reason.
