Issues starting up
About two days ago, I went out riding during the day to get some riding photos. It was pretty hot out, and I stayed out for about an hour and a half. Later on that night, I went to start up, and the bike wouldn't fully start (think I had full choke on). It also wouldn't start with no choke. The engine would turn on, give a pump or two, then shut off. Yesterday, went out for a ride during the day for about an hour, then same thing happened last night when I went to start up. I got it started with no choke then just eased in the throttle to help warm up. Any possibly ideas what this could be?
I originally thought I just didn't have enough gas in the tank, as on the first time my read was about 1/8th of the tank (though I know the gas meter doesn't give an accurate read) and the bike started up when I stood it upright. |

Open the fuel cap next time when your having issues starting it. You may have the notorious tank venting issue.
