Hard start?

RE: Hard start?
Great picture man, the bike looks great!
Did you mess around with your idle control at all after putting on the micron exhaust?? The idle control **** should be on your lefthand mid fairing mount, right under the tank and frame. Start the bike and mess around with that for a minute, see if it helps at all.

I would play with the idle control just to see what it will do.
As far as the "cold", don't even worry about it. In past years, I've driven year-around as long as the roads were clear. I live in Minnesota and we have many months that stay below 20 degrees consecutively.

try changing the plugs they are probably fouled out. if they are fouled it is for a reason though and without correcting the root problem it will just keep happening. probably running too rich, smaller jets will fix that. hope that helps. p.s. hope you get it fixed, it deserves to run as good as it looks. p.s.s. denso iridiums are expensive, but they are the shiznit.

Ok guys two things, one how the heck do I get to the plugs? I tried to get to them with the normal "long" craftsman extension and that's a no go, seems to long to get in there.
And onto the second thing. I pulled the spark plug boot off and figured I'd check for spark so I left it off laying against the header and tried to start the bike. No spark out of the boot? Now shouldnt there be spark there or am I just thinking car stuff here?
