Suzuki GZ125 Marauder - Cold Morning or night start problem - Beginner rider

Hi All,

I live in Manchester in the UK.
Having massive problems with cold start and as a newish rider, would
appreciate any help!!

When temperature is low, say 0 degrees celcius is low enough to cause
trouble, bike won't start, even with choke fully on and accelerator
on.
I've experienced this in earlyish mornings (bike is kept in a garage)
and late evenings when bike is outside a friend's house.

Took it to the garage, they fully checked it and found no problems -
all measurements were well inside the limits, no battery drains
found.. As they thought the regulator was just inside the normal
limits they fitted a slightly better one (albeit second-hand) which
they say improved output a bit to see if it helped.

Still no luck as this morning it wouldn't start.

If anyone has similar problems or coments.. i'd appreciate!

Best Regards
Pedro

 

Do you not love this bike? Is it not your pride and joy?

Then _why_ is it not kept overnight in your living-room?

The problem is a lack of respect for your steed, my man!

 

yeah i love it, i depend on it!¬!
its kept garaged at home, when i mean outside a friends house i mean
for a couple of hours before i head home, say midnight_ish!!!
