HELP
I've got an 03 TT600 which I've owned from new. When it's not cold, the bike starts without any problems.
However, when it's cold (like it is now), the bike starts, but won't tick-over properly until it's warmed up. If I don't spend 3 minutes every morning revving the bike up (6am - the neighbours love me), the engine cuts out. When it has warmed up, the engine will tick-over without any problems.
Jack Lilleys never sorted the problem out during the warranty period. I took it back to them many times. In the end, they replaced the cylinder head - which didn't make any difference whatsoever. They fobbed me off until the end of the warranty period.
The bike has had this problem from new and I'm getting a bit fed up with it now. Is it time for a CBR600?
Has anyone suffered the same problem?
Is it a DIY fix?
Many thanks for your help.

This sounds really odd, but it always worked for me: open and shut the fuel filler cap. Try that and see if it starts after you do that. It is more often necessary when you have less than a full fuel tank, leading one to believe that there is a kink in the breather hose, but I checked that and that wasn't an issue. It is just "character" I guess. I had to do that with both the 2001 that I had for four years and the 2000 that I had for about six months. And no, it isn't time for a CBR. It is never time for that! :-D
