Hey folks, I posted about this earlier, but I have some updates. My bike is only about 6 months old. I've tried taking it to the dealer for service, but they haven't been very helpful. So anyway, the weather where I'm at has been in the 40's and 50's, and when I try to start my bike in the morning, it'll run a bit rough until it warms up. If I give it throttle while it's cold it'll die, and I have to start it up again. Some days it'll die, and then I can't start it again, even after four or five attempts. I just have to wait until later in the day for the temperature to go up. Now, I've tested the electric choke and it appears to open up after about ten minutes of running. I don't really know what to do, because I'm new to carburetors, and I don't know what to adjust on it to help resolve this. Could this be a case of the bike running too lean? Or, should I raise the idle? After the engine warms up, it runs all day just fine. I'm a competent mechanic, but I've only ever fixed modern cars, so this is different for me. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I have a Kymco Agility 125 with 3,000 km and I've changed the gear oil a few times now. I'm new to bikes, but I've worked on many cars before. The manual says to put something like 180cc in after you drain, but I've just been adding an equivalent of what comes out by comparing two clear cups side by side, because not even close to 180cc comes out and I wanted to avoid overfilling it.

Here's my question, should I be adding 180cc, regardless of how much comes out, because gear oil burns up and that's why they want more to go in, or will adding more than what drains every time just overfill it eventually. Like I said, I'm new to this, so any advice is welcomed.
