Title: Bike bubble
Post by: peterengland on November 15, 2016, 03:14:53 PM

Has anyone got one of these things and do they work? My 550 is a pig to start in cold/damp weather so what I want to find out is whether these things will help with this in removing the dampness. Also want it to be easy to get in and out as when it's dry I want to be out on it but these things are not cheap so wanted to know if they are a good investment?

Never tried a bubble, but for a cold start try 4 kicks with ignition off, full choke and full throttle before trying to start it as normal.

Done that but is still a pig, always starts though as I have a gel battery it will crank all day!

I Use a bubble in the winter but wouldn't recommend taking the bike in and out, not that easy to do.
The bigger zip ones may be easier.
