Hello everyone
I just brought a bmw r65gs from 1989 a really good machine, which is newly renovated and drives nicely.
I do experience a problem when starting it in the morning, that it’s pretty unreliable… it always starts, sometimes it starts in 5 seconds other times it takes minutes for it to start.
When it starts up and I get going it idles poorly - i har to apply gas to keep it going for the first 2km.
Is this normal?
I apply full choke when starting - no gas - then when it starts I pu the choke down a notch and drive with the choke half engaged for the first 1km where i then turn it off completely.
I just need to know if it’s normal or not that o needs to warm up for serval kilometers before it run smoothly.
Thank you!
