Re: Very hard starting today
Possible that the fuel pump did not pressure up the fuel rail before hitting the starter button? Assuming the fuel system is similar to the FJR - closed circuit and pressured up? I bought a DL1000 from a fellow and he said not to hit the starter button until the fuel pump shut down. He said that the bike sometimes wouldn't start if he didn't wait. He also said that if he couldn't hear the pump cycle he would turn the key off and back on to get the pump to run. Did not experience this with the DL, as I would be sure that the pump kicked in before hitting the starter.
