No Glow plugs????

Why not try a trickel charge over night during the cold spell. When using vehicles underground the same thing happens plus there running a beacon full time as well. A trickel charge when resting saves replacing batteries every few weeks.You may want to check if you have to disconnect the pos or neg terminal before charging.

I bought a beaut little charger from battery world for around $40 it keeps the KTM on maintenance charge for weeks at a time. Must sell that bike never seem to ride it anymore.

Has to be stuffed glowplugs.
This morning with a good replacement battery fully charged,wizzed over real fast but still slow to fire.Tonite after work,instant start as it should.
Im betting once the rain starts again and its a half decent morning temp normality returns with starting,will let you lot know.Everything was white again this morning!!!!

Throw 4 new ones in it Andrew easy job an hour mine had 2 stuffed and was only starting on 2. I think 1 was stuffed from new when really cold had a sight miss n initial startup then got hard to start.

Its a treat now.

Everybody seems to think the TD5 doesnt need glowing.I never wait for the light to go out,and it goes.
Wasnt behaving like this last winter,its raining nicely now so no frost in the morn,lets see if normality returns!!!

MYTH BUSTED!!!!
TD5s DO NEED GLOW PLUGS!!!!!
Mine must be stuffed,after last nights rain and no frost today,we had 8 solid white frosts in a row,BlackBetty started correctly,same as she does in the arvo!!!!
If you get sub zero temps your TD5 needs its glowplugs!!!
