After returning from a three-week non MC vacation. I had trouble starting my 04. It would turn over easily but wouldn't catch. (I had waited until the fuel pump quit running.) I got no error codes. I finally got it going by opening the throttle all the way like we used to do an a flooded, carb bike. Seem like this happened to me a couple of years ago. Any thoughts? TIA Ian, Iowa

Not abnormal for a FJR that's been sitting. Have seen this on many of them, with no other issues. Usually due to light flooding, hence the wide open throttle work-around. Change plugs-may help. Otherwise, not to worry, just be aware next post-storage start, if it doesn't light off right away, wfo throttle. Battery may be getting tired too.
