It's interesting how some bikes start differently after sitting for more than a couple of days.

I can understand how an engine with carbs could have issues due to fuel sitting in the floatbowls that could lose volatility, but with a F.I. engine that shouldn't be an issue.

My F.I. bikes always start right up after sitting over the winter with treated fuel, so 9 days shouldn't be much of a problem.

Some times cracking the throttle slightly while cranking a F.I. engine can help a cold-start problem.
i was surprised that the bike wouldn't start after just 9 days. I did have to use the throttle to get it started.

so, broken connecting rod/bolt at 1200miles, and a no start after a 9 day sit. i know what my next bike brand WON'T be!
