Hi there,
What I do when starting my TZM is follow the bike manual which is to open the choke fully and kick start the bike. Once the bike is started, close the choke halfway and rev from 2 to 2.5k rpm. After a few seconds, close the choke fully and continue warming the bike up for 3 mins before moving off.
I tried starting the bike without the choke before and it is very difficult to do so. Hence, I never bother using this way again
A replacement sparkplug for the TZM should be around S$4 only. Even if the plug is fouled, it can still start as mine was rather oily before but there wasn't any problem starting the bike.
Hope this helps. -

Hi there,
I think your spark plug needs to be changed. Bring your bike back to your mechanic and ask him to check the condition of your spark plug. If you are the hands-on type, you can check it yourself, but it is very troublesome as you need to remove either the left or right fairing to do so.
The generic spark plug that is used in the TZM cost S$4 from Hong Leong, where I get my bike serviced. I heard that Denso plugs are about S$5 or so only. Sorry, not too sure about this. -
Supposedly if you don't switch the fuel cock to off, it might cause the carburetor to overflow over time.
However, I switch it to off because I follow what the manual tells me to do I believe if one follows what the manual says, then one will have a trouble/problem free bike for years. -
haahaa true true
