July 12, 20206 yr Hi guys, was my first outing today on the vertigo r2 250cc 2020 model. First owner...ive noticed sometimes more than other takes about 10 kicks to start when hot? Is there a knack to starting throttle positions? Any help be great, I will obviously call dealer also
July 12, 20206 yr three kicks from cold first kick every time when hot. !/4 to half throttle and engage kick at top of stroke, don't shut the throttle as you kick roll it off as it fires. It needs to see fuel to fire hence throttle, you'll get the feel for it.
July 13, 20206 yr Mine used to do that sometimes. I found that if it didn't start first kick when hot then open throttle full open (don't be afraid) then it'll start within one or two...Obviously let go of throttle when it fires up. Read it somewhere was advice from vertigo. Edited July 13, 20206 yr by TakeFive Spelling
July 13, 20206 yr Had exactly the same speak to your dealer they will sort it out for you had mine done

October 22, 20205 yr 22 hours ago, Thepolisher said: R2 2020 suffers from this.....fit a spacer on the stator!! Contact your dealer That’s probably a forgotten spacer on the R2’s that have a flywheel weight. What about bikes without flywheel weights that are “hard to start” when hot?
November 3, 20205 yr I did figure out a way to make starting easier. Put your kickstarter under the ball of your foot, not the arch. What happens is, when you kick, and it’s the arch of your foot, when your heel lands on the foot peg... your kick starter is not all the way through the stroke. However, when the kickstarter is under the ball of your foot... and your heel hits the foot peg... the kickstarter is an inch or two further in the stroke. Try it, see if it helps you.
March 6, 20251 yr I bought a 2019 Vertigo Vertical R 125 for my son. Issue I have is his bike seems to be very hit and miss starting from Hot. I can generally start it within less than 5 kicks, other times its a complete nightmare. He struggles full stop (c7 stone 12 year old). I ve replaced the plug, new air filter, cleaned the throttle body, recalibrated the TPS (previous owner advised he'd replaced the TPS), but it seems ok one minute, then a bugger the next. I've tried 1/4-1/2 throttle, backing off as it fires, 1/4-1/2 throttle constant, 1/4-1/2 throttle winding it on at bottom of stroke, there is no logic to it, sometimes it'll start and others it wont. I would like to know if anybody has it the STANDARD MAP as installed by Vertigo from the factory. I've restored 'factory map' from the WiFiComm device, but understand this is the GET Factory map, not sure if that's the same as originally installed from Vertigo. Edited March 6, 20251 yr by Bigkid
March 6, 20251 yr It's possibly a faulty coolant temperature sensor. Your service manual should give a resistance value for the sensor at a specific temperature. A problem with the sensor can also make the fan operate erratically. Some information about the OSSA version here: https://www.ossa-efi.com/home/electrics/sensors#h.y0jvm4uz6jfk
