G'day,

Last winter I rode my T100 even down to 22deg C with no problems. This last weekend I ran on Saturday and Sunday morning at sunrise, 30deg C and frost on the bike and it started and ran no problems.

The trick is to turn the ignition on, leave it for 30 seconds or so, full choke, do NOT touch the throttle, then start your engine. I then let it idle for 15 to 30 seconds before riding off. I can push the choke in after about 1/4 to 1/2 mile depending on how cold it is.

On really cold mornings it may take 2 or 3 times before it fully catches but that is all. Do NOT touch the throttle before it is running.

The carb heaters definitely help warm it a little to make starting easier.
