Hey,
I just bought myself a 1996 xr200. when i bought it i knew it wasnt runnig as well as it should so sent the carby off for a good clean and a jet adjustment. i changed the fuel, cleaned and oiled the air filter, and changed the engine oil. With the engine oil i put in 1.3 litres.
I am having trouble with the choke, i can start it with the choke on full or half (doesnt matter) i leave it to warm up for about 5 minutes and then ride a hundred metres or so before taking the choke of completely. when i do this it automatically dies. does anyb ody else share this problem or able to help me with this problem?
My second problem is the engine is running extremely smokey. i dont understand this and since this is my first four-stroke i have no idea what to do!!!
so does anybody else know how to fix.
cheers!

if its smoking bad it may be
if its smoking bad it may be caused by warn rings or worn out valve seals. did it smoke alot b4 u changed the oil?? and if it doesnt stay running maybe just try adjusting the idle speed screw see if that helps
hope that solves one of ur probs peace
