[QUOTE="Behmer, post: 827879, member: 1306"] Here I thought I had the only bike that would do this. I would say I've had this happen about 10 times since new. Like others it happens after sitting for at least a week or more. Last summer I ended figuring out a little more about the problem (at least with my bike). If I disconnected the fuel pump the bike would want to start. Plug the fuel pump back in and it would just crank again. My fix to get it to start was to hold the starter button in and then turn the key on. Got it to go that way. Took a little to get it cleaned out though. I think for me it must be an injector leaking fuel when the fuel pump is energized. Towards the end of last year I ran a few tanks of gas with Yamaha's Ring Free and the one time I tried to start it up this winter (after sitting for two months) to my surprise it popped right off. I think I'll run a few tanks a year with Ring Free and see if it happens again. Bikes got 130+ thousand on it. [/QUOTE]
