Long warn up

Hi,

I have just bought a 2nd hand daelim VL 125 that clocked around
13500km. The bike is ok except it requires 5mins or more to warm up.
The engine will stall immediately when I engage 1st gear if warm up is
not sufficient.

I don't have this problem when I rode my previous bike (Suzuki
maruader GZ125). I can engage 1st gear and go immediately after I
started up the engine.

Is there any solution to overcome the long duration warm up?

 

Short of moving to a hot climate, no. It's probably just a leaner-
running engine than your old 125 (pollution regs and all that). My own
little Honda CD250 takes a while to warm up. Some bikes just do. Live
with it.

 

No, ys282, don't do this. Don't fiddle with it. If it's running fine
once it's warmed up, leave it. It ain't broke.

 

*Shrug*. So leave it alone all the same. I've lost count of the number
of small bikes I've owned that wouldn't idle until nicely warm. Better
that than fiddling with it, and as he's evidently a newbie (else why
ask the question?), he won't know what he's doing and *will* sod
something up.

 

Leave the choke (partially) ON for a tad bit longer.
And, yes, it is perfectly OK to do that.

 

I had/have almost the same problem on my Honda CB250. It would run fine
in idle, but would die when I'd roll on the throttle. Problem was a
dirty carb. I dumped a bottle of Techron in the tank, rode 250 miles,
and it got much better. I still do have a little hesitation in 1st gear
and will probably run another round of cleaner through.

Hope that helps.

Not really the same problem at all, and the OP doesn't have a problem.

Give Dawn Power Dissolver spray a chance. You can use it indoors without
breathing foul fumes. If it spills on something, it only cleans it - does
not eat it away.

From what I can gather, it is enzyme based and is fairly harmless to humans,
though it will make your skin tingle a bit, similar to 409 spray cleaner.
No, they work nothing alike.

It can be found in many pots and pans sections in food stores and is
inexpensive.

My main hobby is model airplanes and their engines. Castor oil is one of the
most difficult to remove lubricants in the world when it has been turned
into the nasty brown varnish phase of its life. Dawn Power Dissolver works
extremely well at removing this baked on varnish. If it will remove castor
oil, there is a great chance that it will remove anything that one is likely
to find in a gasoline carburetor. So far I have noticed no damaging effects
to aluminum at all. Can't say the same for some carb cleaners.

It is inexpensive, available just about anywhere there are food stores
(different name perhaps) and is relatively safe and non stinky.

I tried some B12 before without much effect, though I may have been too
dainty in adding it. What's your preferred ratio of B12 to gas?

 

Well, you've got me there. The DPD spray does take a while to work.
