The problem I'm having is about half the time the bike won't start without the throttle cracked, when it does that if I let it run for a few seconds it will idle. Bike has no check engine light. Thanks
Can you provide any more info? There's nothing to go on here other than trouble starting which could be a host of things.
How many miles on the bike?
Did the problem just occur out of nowhere?
Was the bike sitting for any length of time?
Any other symptoms while riding?
etc.
Those are just questions that come to mind, but any other info would help somebody help you.
Ok valves were going to be my first suggestion. Since it happened after sitting my next guess is fuel. If you still have that same fuel in the bike drain it and put some quality fuel in and run it through. Might not hurt to put some good injector cleaner in there ( I use Amsoil Quickshot).
Alright, yea I'm just shooting from the hip here to narrow things down until someone that had this issue knows the fix. But a quick internet search did return quite a few mentions on the battery being culprit, I don't know if I bought their logic but figured it was a place to start.
I'll keep pondering until the more experienced comes along. I admit I am still learning engine diagnostics myself.
Could also be throttle body sync (if valves were adjusted but throttle bodies were never synced I would check this)
Maybe a video will help someone figure it out better? I'm sure we all have an idea, but visual and audible references never hurt. Other then verifying you have good fuel, air, spark I am out of ideas though.
