    Got an Apprilla RS 125 year 07. Having an issue with when starting, it fires & takes lots of starting before we can get to tick over. Can anyone give me any advice on how I can fix this?

    Good link there DC, was going to say carbs/jets or floats. Drain the carbs if there is old fuel been sat a while, stip and clean with carb cleaner. Also worth draining the tank as the 2t oil can settle lower than the petrol causing the plugs to oil up and give a poor combustion.

    Sounds like the Reed valve could be blocked/worn to me.

    Maybe the powerband needs replacing - I'd suggest getting a red one, they're better than the blue ones.

    Or the elastic band?

    Seriously though hope you have got it sorted and are ready to get back out there when this lockdown ends.
