Trouble at idle.
Well I finally managed to start my bike. The first time I started it it died right away after I added a little throttle. Then, after restarting it, which took a while, I thought I would put it in gear and move it forward a good 5 feet or so. As soon as I put it in gear with the clutch IN it dies. So now im frustrated. I RESTART for the third time and just decide to let it idle for a while. After a few minutes I apply some throttle. It holds strong and doesnt die. So now im all happy and try to put it in gear. It works! I put it in gear and move forward 5 feet or so and walk it back and repeat this about 10 times (it felt great! my first time moving the bike with the engine) So then I decide to take it out on the driveway and yard. I get out there and once I start moving it the bike begins to feel as light as a feather. So I thought I would practice some slow turning stuff. It was MUCH easier than I thought. From what I have read people have made it sound impossible, but I made myself feel better when I managed to do some tight stuff on a slow speed. Anyway then I decide to park it in the garage and let it sit so the oil can go into the screen.
Well I leave the bike there for hours and recently came back to check it out. I look at the oil and still nothing in the little screen. I try to start it up. It starts, I give a small bit of throttle, and it dies. So I try to start it up again and it rolls over and over and over and gets so close to that 1000 rpm but after a while I gave up. Got off the bike and as I was about to leave I said "one more time" so I put the key back into ignition, turn it, pull in the clutch, shift it to neutral, and press the button. It lives!! It turned on after about 5 seconds. So with my hopes up, and the engine running, I decide to put it into first and move forward again. I hold the clutch, while having my left toe move that lever into first gear....and it dies.....I sighed, put the side stand down, took the key out, checked the oil, and left. I wasnt surprised to find that the screen was still empty. However, the oil sign never did come on while it was running.
