Trouble Starting The Engine
Posted: Wed May 13, 2009 4:52 am
Yesterday, I had trouble starting my bike. I think there may be two possible contributing factors.
1) I hadn't ridden it in a couple weeks.
2) I had just hosed it down to clean off the dust that was standing on it.
I read in the operator's manual not to hold the starter on for more than 5 seconds, and it took me 8 or 9 tries before the engine started up. In the past 2 months I've owned it, it's always started right away. Do you think it's because of either factors I listed?
