Title: Bet and Win Starts Easier on sidestand
Post by: Togger on November 09, 2020, 06:20:37 PM: When I try to start my B&W 250 on the centerstand, it's quite difficult, but when it's on the sidestand with the rear wheel touching and leaning, it seams to start easier. Could that be a carb problem?

Find out WHY there is a difference and fix it. Probably wrong float height.

My Like200i owner's manual says it won't start with sidestand down....but, as every Like200i owner knows --- it sure will!
No lockout fitted on this model.
