is it a 500cc Caps ?

i can relate to this as my 500 is same when cold, i use start ya bastard on cold mornings ( think Ravo in middle of winter) and it works a treat. no problem when its warm, just needs an extra charge when cold.

fuel  spark   and  compression so  one is down. About 96  RM range needed expensive  Meridian type plug, check with your agent. Float level?
