Cold Starting
#11
Ok, yes I'm a noob at carting a bike around in a truck but I have no idea what you are talking about! What's a "tie down fork brace?" Thanks!

With regards to the hard or in your case, no start condition ... If you lay her down a pretty far piece, then being patient, you'll soon see some gas come out of the carb... after that has happened, she'll usually start up if the battery is topped off.
I eventually got tired of this system (and it was a source of constant embarasment to me from my KTM, Honda and Yamaha friends) .... so I bought a Bill Blue modded Mikuni ' pumper' carb. Problem solved and much quicker throttle response!

Yep the pumper carb is the way to go to eliminate the problem for sure, buts there's lots of tips and tricks on the forum just have to find one that works for you. Have some spare money burning a hole in your wallet and don't want to use tie downs? check this out, was designed for mx bikes and the Klx is a bit of a wiggle to get in

yup, makin sure u run the bowl dry before storage of more than 2 days will take care of it.. cheapest way to cure it would be lettin it breathe easier (remove air box lid. then a long rod to knock the baffles out) and a rejet.

+ 1 on the fork brace. And like the guys said above, if the bike will sit for a few days then run the gas out. Just turn off the fuel 3 blocks before you pull into the driveway. Here is my Vampire fork brace I made a couple of years ago. Don't laugh. I was too cheap to buy one for $14.00 so I spent an hour making this one.
