It may just take a while to warm up, I know mine does. Set the idle while it's hot, and keep a hand on the throttle until it is.
There may be another answer, but I haven't found it yet.

Re: Sqeeky front end on CB360T
I've noticed that the front wheel on my bike squeeks when I'm riding, like the brake was going out. But the squeek stops when I apply the front brake. Any ideas? I'm assuming it's a disc front brake? I'm not up on the "T" model. Could be a bunch of stuff, but it sounds like your brake's r...

Even if the battery is too low to kickstart, the oil light should still come on when you turn the key. Check the fuses first for blown or shifted so the metal bits aren't making contact (eh, it happens, esp. when the wrong length fuses are in there). If it is a blown fuse, that's really more of a sy...

There is a slow-speed version of Slime for tubed tires. Yeah, after a recent plague of flats I started carrying that stuff. I got a chance to test it not long after. It worked fine for getting me home, then, strangely, went flat again sitting in the driveway (for about an hour). For emergencies, it...

On mine it goes from the left side of the Batt box (more or less from the fuse block), then above the left air filter, inside and over the carbs, then the front looks like this: http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u312/revcbl/360wiring.jpg Not the best picture in the world, but hope that helps.

Let me venture a theory here. Since bikes (motorized or otherwise) are more stable at higher speed (whether we attribute that to inertia or gyroscopic-type forces or elves or whatever) it takes more effort to lean the bike and initiate a turn at higher speeds. It's the increase in effort that draws ...
