  First of all I would like to thanks you for replying.
  
  I got some problem with my Wave. Whenever the engine is cool, especially in the morning. It seem like I cannot get the engine started properly.
  
  When I first started the engine, I always need to open the choke. If not, the engine will die after i release the throttle. I need to start the engine a few times before the engine can keep running.
  
  What wrong with my bike??
  
  I asked the the mechanic in the shop I bought the bike about this problem, he said I need to open the choke when I want to start the engine when it is cool. Is that true???
  
  Pls advice. Thanks

  Better be careful coz my friend Wave-I model park at muli carpark,Both front and rear rim Lost.......People steal away.......now he had to fork out $$$ to buy and fix back the rim.

  If i understand your problem you have to add first CLEANSER CARBURETOR in your gazoline thank if no change after that look at your SPARK PLUG and change it I advise you to use Platine or iridium spark plug.
  
  My moto start every morning "au 1/4 de tour" like we say in france
  
  if you prefer start and go

  I use to take Holts or Winns Cleanser but all the otehr like REDEX are good
  In my country you found in supermarket , gasoil station
  Is the same you use for car but you put half or 1/3 of the bottle in your moto depend of tank capacity

  I am using sport rim, tubeless and bigger tyre now. Feel more steady on the road but coz the rim more heavy, therefore the speed not as gd as original spooky rim.

  Cannot,coz sport rim are bigger than the original rim....therefore bigger tyres.
