Okay, about a month after I got my bike, I went out to start it up. All it did was turn over. I actually had to pull the throttle back while cranking it to get it to start.....then it never did it again until today.

It was a little brisk, but the bike started fine. Backed it out of the parking space, went to go (slipped a little on the clutch) and stalled it. Went to restart it and nothing. It just cranked. So, I gave it some throttle and it fired back up. Now it's fine again.

Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this, or what it is?

 

I dont know, it has happened to me once also. I dont know if it isnt getting enough gas, or spark, but if you pull back on the throttle and it works, it sounds like it may be gas, but not sure. If it is cold, it may cause the hoses to expand and when it pushes gas through initially, it may not get enough through. I am not sure, just guessing.

 

Yeah, it's strange. Don't know why. I'm thinking it's just a fluke and happens every so often. (kind of like having a brand new car stall out of no where). Rarely does it ever happen, but you raise a brow when it does.

 

yes that happens to me also... but mine is a 98 F3 so i always chalked it up to the carbs (i want a fuel injected bike so much lol)
