My 06 runs like a scaleded cat from cold start to the first get off. Then, sometimes, but not always, after shutting off and checking in to the hotel, going in the store, etc., it will barely start & runs like shit at low idle / starting out speed (seems to happen more when it sets in the sun or is hot). Last time I could smell gas when it finally started. Especially troublesome when turning left at a stop light or pulling into traffic. Runs very rough and takes a lot of clutch feathering to start out, then it settles down and hauls ass - no problems at highway speed. Took it to a dealer. They kept it for a week, ran trouble codes, test rode and could find nothing wrong, nor could they replicate symptoms. Dealer confirmed bike has had ECU, meter, & recently, ignition switch recalls.
Bike is a California model. First time occured in Las Vegas at 110 deg after stopping for about an hour. Wrote it off to high heat. Second time happened in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. I live at about 4000', last time occured at 4500' after running in city traffic, going into the mall and starting up. Very annoying when riding in traffic - not to mention dangerous. Anyone w/ similar experience or ideas?
