sputtering (a bit) until fully warmed up
Hey guys,
My KLX is bone stock (even stock bars haha).
It has 5300kms on it and for about a year or 2, i start it (using the choke as always)... after running for a few minutes, i put the choke in.
When i drive it away it will sputter and hesitate a little bit unless i'm REALLY slow applying throttle... after i get the RPMs up to 8k ish, it's fine for the rest of the day...
so i guess my question is:
since this never happened when it was new... what's changed?
Note: i haven't changed the air filter yet and have never touched the carb etc
****EDIT*** I'm obviously going to do the air filter - but i just wanted to know if there was anything else i should look out for.
I did a search but most people's issues seem to be with jetting or other aftermarket parts.
Thanks again guys!

Cool,
thanks guys.. i'll check all of the above next time i have some free time.
If i let it warm up longer, it's usually fine. It's just that i never used to have to let it warm up as long as i do now (about an extra few minutes.)
Thanks again!
