Honda 599 Cold Startup

My first YouTube video:

First start after the bike was parked for 5 months. Some idling issues from the cold-blooded monster, and the gas in the tank is old and stale. My idle speed without the choke is about 800 RPM, which is way too low. I have to find the idle adjustment screw and bring that up to around 1300 RPM. First ride was around the block, then to Wawa to adjust my tire pressure to spec and get some fresh gas in the tank.

New Spark plugs wouldn't hurt either. I just changed mine and it made so much of a difference at idle. Cheap and kinda easy change. Actually i take that back, they were a bitch to change. Great bike I love my 06.

Thanks for the advice, but once I increased the idle speed to 1400 the bike runs like a dream. It had 214 miles on the bike at the time I posted this video so changing the spark plugs would probably be a little much. Has about 300 miles on her now and she's been treating me well. Keep enjoying your 06', I know I have :-)

@RainesPhotography  2006 was the last year they were carb. 2007 they went to fuel injected
