Hard start

[Snakes709]

I know this is an old thread but I don’t know if original poster still has the issue. But the next time u turn the key to the on position. That whining noise is the fuel pump kicking in. Let that whine stop completely before cranking the bike over. Best of luck.

that's not the issue. I always let my fuel pump prime before I crank it. Still did it to me when I first bought the bike. Hasn't done it since.

Hi, i'm still active. My bike have 8000 km now. And this problem not happen again. I'm more careful with stop and start now. I always let my fuel pump stop before crank it.

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.

Make sure you are sliding the kill switch all the way up to the “x”. Manual says if not all the way off the on board electronics will continue to draw amps.

I’d be checking my battery with a meter.

This was a big deal on my old 600 with PCIII.
If I started bike right after cutting it off it would take longer to start and if I didn’t let that fuel pump and actuator do it’s thing I would have hell riding. Extreme dive and extreme take off. The throttle would be way off because the timing was off with the fuel. It would flatten out after about 3min of riding.

I’ll look when I get home. I read the thing through and through. Took 2 and a half hours as I had to re-read quite a bit for it to make sense.

The Kill Switch will cut only the fuel pump, injectors and ignition circuits. With Kill Switch Off, all other circuits remain live as long as the Ignition Switch is in the On position.

The headlight won't come alive until the engine is started but, once it is live, it will remain on when the Kill Switch is moved to the Off position.

With Ignition Switch in the Off position the Kill Switch has no effect since it's power source comes through the Ignition Switch.

Interesting I think that may be a SE+ thing. I only touch that switch to start the bike and just turn the key off. Never had any issues.
