[QUOTE="snaggleXR4, post: 166728, member: 24395"] Hey, The newer XR's are jetted leaner than the 96-97's. If you remove the snorkel or the baffle in the pipe you will need to rejet. If you are pure stock, you jetting should be in the ballpark, but tweaking might help. Try this when starting it cold. Turn on gas and full choke, lay the bike over on it's side for a few seconds, don't lay it on the ground, just tip it way over. Jump on the bike, and kick all the way through. She should fire off within 2 kicks or so. My bike hates to start when cold, but when she's warm/hot she starts first or second kick every time. The lay over trick works great for me to get fuel to the cylinder quick. Finally, adjusting the idle up when cold does help too. Leave it idling high until she warms up, just make sure to idle it back down within a few minutes. Good luck, keep on thumpin'! [/QUOTE]
