WOT START

[msch]

I had startup problems.
There are many ideas about how to start the bike when this happens. WOT start is mention many times as a solution. I am a Spanish speaker and do not know what WOT Sart means. Please explain it.
Any other solution?
Thanks in advance.

WOT = Wide Open throttle.
Hold the throttle wide open while cranking. If it doesn't start, you may need to remove the fuel injection fuse while you clear the engine from excess fuel, then re-insert the fuse and try to start again.

I agree with Koinz advice from what I have seen others report.
Let us know how it worked out for you.
I have been lucky I guess. In almost 3 years I have never had a hard start. I never cycle the key without flipping the kill switch and always hold the start button down until it starts. I also make sure it warms up before I kill it because of the reports I have seen on this forum. So far so good. ::008::
