Angry kawa 650 klr starting bad

Hallo, my name is Willem and new in this forum.

I have a Kawa 650 klr and every time for the first he/she starting bad.
Now I have found out that the ignition plug spark very weak (sorry my englisch is very bad) I have changed the plug for a new, no spectaculair resultat, the battery likes in good condition. When the motor is warming up, he starts perfect.
What can I do for repait this problem ?

welcome to KF Am I understanding this correctly? When warm, the engine fires up nice, but when cold it does not fire up properly?

(Sounds like a choke issue.)

The motor stay in Cabo Verde, it means here is never cold 25-30 degrees. But by the first start no choke no running, then little choke or more....and after several times finally running. Then not any problem more, I heared kawa 650 are bad starters ore not?

Even at 77 degrees F outdoor ambient temp, on a cold start, use the choke. It is starting up for you it seems after you start using the choke.
But by the first start no choke no running, then little choke or more....and after several times finally running. Then not any problem more,

Now I found out the battery charged fully, started w/o choke, no any problems. I think after a period no running ore starting, the battery loose energy for good fires up nice.

Congrats on the solution. Verify that your ground connections are clean and tight and that the battery fluid levels are correct.
