[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1445572, member: 19880"] Hot day? Parked in the sun for some time? If the canister is saturated with fuel, it will start reluctantly and run rough for maybe a few minutes and then run normally. Easy to spot the canister if the bike has one - mounted behind the "triangle" at the front, below the radiator. The front cowling has an extra hole at the bottom to accommodate a drain hose that comes from the canister. Note: The drain hose could be kinked inside the cowl and not through the opening. That could create problems. Note: My 2007 was purchased privately from a guy who bought it in Connecticut. Turns out it was a California model so no guarantee that yours isn't just because it did not originate in CA. See this parts fiche and you should be able to tell if it is a California model. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/oemparts/a/yam/528698c5f8700230dc2a74a8/fuel-tank[/URL] Get a flashlight and check for crud inside your tank. Also, some early Gen III bikes had some issues with throttle position sensors (TPS). You might do a search for this. Check that plug wires are secure. Can't imagine how it could have had anything to do with the installation of the top box. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
