flat side carbs on or off for the winter?
so i finally got the test drive the duc and was really turned off by how hard it was to start. the guy told me that its a real cold blooded machine with the carbs. i am really looking for a bike that i can ride all year round without spending 10 minutes every morning twisting throttle cables and wasting battery on several false starts.
if i took off the carbs and had a choke, could this bike be a good year long commuter + occasional tourer, or should i keep looking?
o ps: this was the first time i road a duc and my impressions were:
great ergos
great sound
terribly recovery from the throttle. compared to my 96 ninja and 2005 speed 3 this thing feels like a locomotive or something.
