    my bike runs sweet. When its cold it starts easily. 1st time everytime.
    but after riding it for a while and its warmed up its quite hard to start again and stalls sometimes at the lights.
    Ive been told it may be the spark plugs i have are the wrong ones and are getting too hot.

    Does anyone agree with this and what kinda spark plugs do you all have

    well i used to have the same problem.... it used to start up with the choke open, and then it'd be fine but would be hard to start again or it would stall at the lights.... i didnt touch my spark plugs when i got my bike looked at, rather i got my carbies balanced... and my idle mixture adjusted.... its fine now...starts first time with no choke and starts after being stopped and doesnt even feel like wanting to stall...ever <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

    When having the carbs sync'd/balanced, be sure to have them CHECK and SET the Float height. This is just as critical.

    Also, if your bike has high milage, consider replacing the emultion tubes and needles.
