Hi
I have 2 CRF's in the garage and both were bought brand new. Currently they both have about 20 hours on them.
My wife's one is working 100%.
Mine seems to drain its batteries very quickly when parked. I need to disconnect mine after each time it's used. Sometimes I've forgotten and the battery gets buggered and never charges properly again. I'm on my 4th battery at this point.
What could be causing this just on my bike?
Second issue on mine is that when I start it I have to push the throttle to an 'extra' closed position otherwise it will keep turning and never starts.
Once it starts and is warm, I notice that if I snap the throttle on from idle the engine dies. I need to roll on the first 3/4 cm slowly, the engine dips in revs slightly and then works as normal. My 'fix' to this on rides is to increase the idling speed.
I'm not very mechanically minded but was hoping to learn something before sending off to a mechanic?
