We had a cold front come through and after a few minutes of warming up my VStar, I hop on and try to take off but it stalled try after try. Once its warm it takes off fine from stops but I let it sit for a few hours, would only start with choke, warmed it up for only a min. thinking thats enough and again, stalls three times from take off. I let the clutch out fine and had enough gas, been riding for a while but it is a new bike for me. Is the Vstar that cold blooded or whats the problem? Do I just need to warm it up longer?

Keep choke on while riding till it's warm. I have to do that with my shadow. Any temperature below 70 degrees it will not idle without a little bit of choke.

You're bike doesn't have a temp gauge? What I do is slowly open up the choke and hit the starter. When the bike starts, I leave the choke where it is, let the engine settle down for a couple of second, then ride off with the choke on. I close it after like 5 minutes of riding. If you're constantly having the ending die, you might want to just your mixture screws or check the idle speed.

I've done that and had the bike nearly toss me off the top of it.
Wanted to see what it would do. I went from 2 1/2k rpms to 6k quicker than I was expecting.

Tharsurproblem.jpg I always open the choke just 30 seconds after starting the bike so Ill leave it closed and ride with it. Didnt even think of riding off with it closed, thanks.

Notice the one gauge? That's just a mph gauge required by law. It only has two lights too. Neutral and oil.

About to buy this strobe set for my car... I need to know the strobe light sequence for police cars in the US.
Anonymous
These assholes might not want to help you, OP, but I'd be happy to assist you. The sequence goes red, blue, red, blue, red, blue, and then repeats. And the siren goes woooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo WEEEEE-ooooo WEEEEE-ooooo WEEEEE-ooooo WEEEEE-ooooo Hope this helps!

Most US police use wig-wags or a flasher that flashes the highbeams and tail lamps in addition too strobes in the grille and backup lamps. Marked cruisers have the lightbar, while umarked cars make due with grille lamps and rear decklid lights + hideaways. 'Show' strobes are nowhere near the brightness or intensity of actual strobes (Wheelen, etc). And most law enforcement and public safety officials don't use hideways inside the headlamps anyways.

I know a guy that's crazy for diesels. Keeps talking about injecting propane like it's nitrous for diesels. I think it's bollocks.

If he would have crashed his car on that point if he werent as sick as he was is moot. The cars should have been prepared better for a crash. A racing fuel cell could have saved him for christsake
