well i just moved from HAWAII to WASHINGTON (3 mounths ago)and have not got a full ride in.(i need to ride).my first attempt the bike was hard to staurt, it would only staurt with the choke on and wouldnt idle very long.then once i staurted to ride for a few min. it staurted to bog and backfire a few times then die.i thought it was dirt in the jet or carb.i took it in to kawi dealer they checked it and said the batery was almost dead, and charged it.65$ so i went to ride the day i picked it up and same thing happend.so i bought a new batery.75$ and staurted fine then died after 3min. of idleing and every time i pushed the throttle(not even1/4 way in) it would die, then wouldnt staurt.im tired of taking it in it idles fine at the dealer, then i get home and try to let it idle for a while and ride at its staurts acting up.SORRY FOR THE LONG POST BUT NEED TO VENT IT OUT.THANKS
