Hard start

[Kwee]

Hi everyone,

I've my bike since 1 month now. She always start on the first attempt.

Today, i stop for about 35 min. I had to start her three times until she stay at idle(with some difficulty). The two first attempts she hang after 2-3 seconds.

Happen to someone ?

My VFR 800 2017 never did that in 8200 km.

Regards.

A similar thing happened with my Triumph Sprint when I didn't use it for a while. Only ever happened one time. Some fresh gas in the tank cured the problem after a few miles of riding.

Since your bike is new then the gas in your tank obviously isn't old. Any chance you filled up at a different location where gas is not so good?

No i use the same station for all my bike since 2 years(new station). I only use RON 98.

That's normal the first time you start it. The fuel need to travel along the entire fuel system.

But on a warm engine that's odd. Maybe it's running to lean and can't crank easily once warm.

By the way, it's completely stock.

It wasnt the first start. Put 300kms on that day. Rode to the lake with my buddy. He had a couple smokes, i called my insurence company about something and then we went to head out. Took 4 attempts to get it to fire up. Been fine since.

It reassures me and it worries me at the same time

I have had the issue several times on warm starts. Sucks and makes me want a good flash to get over this smog BS.

Happen again today, 4000 km on the clock. But this time because i start it 2 times in less than 5 minutes. Only restart after three attempts.
