Dear K team!
i guess the problem is temperature related as it all started when the weather started getting more and more chilly. at the beginning, when the temperature dropped to around 15 degrees celcius. When starting the engine it bugged and knocked like crazy for the first 2 minutes but it was starting from the first spin.
today, after 4 days of not riding it, the temperature dropped to 6 degrees and for the first time since june i couldn't start it at all - the engine sounded like flooding and there was a lot of fumes coming out from the exhaust. after a couple of attempts i opened the throttle a bit and somehow it started. after a minute or two the situation was bearable and after 2 more mins everything seemed ok. can it be the temperature sensor behind the radiator? my engine started getting a bit rich in the past few weeks (my exhaust got black) but it was not a problem until today.
any suggestions?
