starting

So for a week I had played with the exhaust flapper valve disconnected under the seat (wires harness only.) I liked the way it ran, and it appears to be smoother in the low revs.. But during our heat wave this week 102F.. I started the bike from a days rest and it kept stalling gout as the...

I suspect this has something to do with the way I've disconnected the exhaust flapper, as it seems to go off the first time I close the throttle after first moving away from standstill after I start the bike. I've never seen in come on outside of these conditions. Has anyone else experienced...

I am at a loss with this bike... It has a slow starting problem,only when hot and does not happen every time I try to start). I been to 2 dealers and the answer I get is to keep riding till it either quits or does it every time. I am just waiting for the time it stalls in traffic and it pulls...

hi everybody .. just a heads up to all of you so that you're aware that this might happen to you, too. 10 days ago I wanted to drive home from work .. ignition worked, but the dash lights started to flicker luna-park like. After going 50m with that lightshow I shut it off and tried to...

Hyper is suddenly harder to start - this began at about 3,000 km. (now I'm nearly at 5,000). When the bike is cold it seems to always start on the first try. But when it's warm, and I start it often in the city (short trips), it fails to start on the first try quite often - I'd say about...

When the bike is hot and I try to re-start ti above 9,000 ft I have a hard time getting the bike to start. Does anyone know if the new software will fix this mixture issue? Almost ran out of battery juice yesterday...

So this is the second time I've filled up my bike since i got it and both times I put as much fuel in as I could. Now I didn't go up to the neck but pretty darn close and the bike started hard. I have a charcoal canister. Anyone else have this problem? What's actually going on here?
