i have read that alot of people have had this problem. it is the 4th time it has gone back to the dealers has anybody cured it? i have done the usual by not touching the throttle and keeping the button in till it starts.
Many times on snow/ice with a dirt bike with studs in the tires but I wouldn't do so on the tenere due to the weight. What part of KY?cjct21 said:A side note: Does anyone ride in the snow? I mean off road in the snow? It sounds crazy but I am wanting to do it. Need some metal studs for the tires.

I've owned two S10s with over 51,000 total miles with one hard start....I think I was guilty of #3. above.

Good luck with the search for the cure. Happened to me again on the weekend and I don't recall breaking any of the "rules". Took ages to start on WOT but it did start. If it wasn't such a good bike otherwise it would be a deal breaker. Lucky it hasn't happened in front of my BMW or HD friends.budgie said:im doing every think wright. Ive rode bikes for 42 year and love this bike been to Austria and the top of Scotland on it a good ride out. im hoping for a good result from my dealer. thanks for replys. budgie u.k.
There has been no correlation noted to date with changes in exhaust, ECU tuning, etc. Hard starts have been noted on bone-stock bikes (e.g., mine) and modified bikes. As I recall we've only had one report of a 2014 or 2015 with the problem, and as I recall, there were extenuating circumstances in this one report. So jury may still be out on whether the problem propagated to the Gen 2.budgie said:I now this must grind down anyone who has no problem with the bad start but I would like to know those people with the problem have you got the standard end can on or a after market exhaust. just trying to find the problem as I think this bike is great and i want to keep it. budgie uk
