Default Starting in the morning...

I have a problem with starting the bike in the morning. Every morning, I had to try atleast twice or three times in order to start the bike. Does anyone have the same problem? I live in the NorthEast region so I dont know it's a normal thing or something is going on with the bike.. Any helps are appreciated..

It can happen without it being a serious problem. What time in the morning? Whats the milage on the bike?
YOu might want to investigate the battery. Good luck

The bike has 9200 miles and it usually happens around 6:00am to 7am when i'm ready to ride out. But I dont have any problem at all in the afternoon. Besides, I just bought a new battery from the factory.... could it be the fuel injection system? ...

manual says that hard to start when cold is the ECT, faulty or bad connection.
download the manual and fix it.

Ya thats a well known problem that Honda really needs to fix. Theres something wrong with the timing belt timer that inbetween 6-7am in the morning the time is off so the bikes timing belt is off. After a few cranks the time should catch up and the timing belt timer will be in sync with the global atomic clock therefore starting the bike. Later on in the afternoon the earth is spinning a little bit slower during the summer time, which is why our days are longer, and thats how the belt timer can catch up to be in synch and actually start. Hope this helps!!

Mike
