    Once in awhile I get a slight hesitation at low end when I'm taking off from a stop. Sometimes it even seems to "chug" a little bit before take off. After it takes off, it flys! It's just getting to get it moving.

    Also I'd sitting for a few days it seems to start hard. It can take awhile to get it going.
    If I ride everyday, it starts just fine.

    Anyone have any ideas of what may cause this?
    Plugs are new.

    Thanks!

    try opening the mixture screws a wee bit.
    starting, either live with it of turn it to prime, count to 5 then start it. don't forget to turn it back to run

    Also, from a cold start, especially if she's sat for a few days, ride 20mph for a few blocks to give her time to run off idle, burn condensation and reach full operating temp. She should be fine after that.
