Hi all
I am having a problem with my silver star,when I start it up it takes quite a while to warm up,and is a bit "lumpy"on tickover almost stalling on occasion, when it is warm it seems to hesitate as you accelerate through the gears,ive changed the petrol,air filter,and cleaned/checked the carb...fitted a new plug........it feels like a jap 4 cylinder that is running on 3 cylinders,does anyone have any ideas as to what may be the problem.cheers steve :?

Check your choke is closing fully, and try charging your battery.
