Hey guys
Got a new bike. Its a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250r in that sexy sexy blue
I managed to get it for 3500 with 10,000 on it because the PO hadnt taken good care of it (not serviced in the 2 years/5000 k's he had it.
After some basic servicing it runs great other than that it needs choke to start at all times other than like high 20's+ weather. It's not an idle screw issue as once it is warm it idles fine, possibly slightly high at 1400 rpm ish. When I start it in any weather below 25 it struggles at 900 ish rpm's and then dies if I don't use any choke.
Anyone got any ideas on what it might be and how to fix it? my guess would be that knowing how badly the previous owner kept it that he left fuel in it ages and the carbs have gummed up with stale fuel a little bit.
