Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and Troubleshooting (click dropdown)
Frequently asked questions:
Q: How do I use the CHOKE on the carb?
A: Lever up is ON (choke full on), Choke lever down is OFF (Bike warmed up) and middle is half choke.
Q: My bike idle is too low or too high.
A: The idle adjustment is on the side of the Carb, a knurled thumbscrew, some a flat blade screw. Clockwise raises idle, counter lowers it. Adjust when fully warmed up. Being carbureted the idle will be low when it's cold and you'll have to hold the idle up with your throttle grip. there are NO pre counted turns out to set, must be done while idling
Q: my bike won't run with the choke off, it spits, coughs and stalls.
A: These bikes are LEAN from the factory to meet emissions, Doing the Carb mod like in my Hawk video is the single best improvement you can do for more power and smoother running, see videos.
Q: What main jet should I use in my bike?
A: typically if you are under 5000 feet a 110 main is a good starting point, please watch the videos there is more that should be done.

A: At checkout, put MOTOCHEEZ in the discount box before you submit payment.
