No worries mate. Personally I start it and ride almost immediately. I just ride it gently for the first few miles till it warms

[stoopefy]

sorry quick Question: just got a RD400 and wondering your start up ritual to warm the engine, do you just leave it idle for two minute, take it easy for the first few miles??

[UrbanHax]

Might pick up an RD400 tomorrow. Dude said last he started it on 8 kicks, anybody know how to make it start easier?

[dexter2433]

@UrbanHax it may need a fresh top end

[nickitas87]

@UrbanHax close а throttle (cholck i forgot how to say right ,one stuff on carburator )

[MrCountrycuz]

@UrbanHax check your plugs for fouling and use your choke

never trust a dude with two first names.

remember that.

its already running isnt it!?!

[cerberusgoddog]

that's what i thought.

[TrojanTM69]

That took some starting. I hope my RD200 starts better when I get it.

[danielligocenzo]

that must have been one cold engine!

Excellent stuff....The aircooled RD club is having its rally at Ashbourne in Derbyshire, UK, on 13/14/15 July 2007. Biggest RD get together in the world. Over 130 RD's on the Saturday rideout in 2006.

Check out the club site.
