I know this is a 250 forum. And I find myself trying to get a 500 ready to commute with. She has been giving me so trouble. Hope someone here come offer some advice. She only starts only when she wants to, also so far it has been the first attempt. Turn the key on give it some choke, hit the button and she jumps to attention. If she doesn't start walk away there is no pattern. Hot, cold, 5 minutes or 5 hours apart. Just had the carbs done (nice job ducatiman) Valves have been checked. Runs great, when it starts, you would never know there is a problem. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
