I’m having some troubles with starting the bike – not first thing in the morning or after it’s been left for some time but usually when I’ve had taken it out for anywhere between 2 and 20+ miles, then get off go somewhere and return within the hour to start it!

It’s really bizarre because as I said, it’s fine first thing in the morning. Also, it’s idling and running smoothly when it does go. It’s not the battery, which is only 3 months old, as the engine does turn over but it doesn’t fire-up.

I love my girl….but I’m thinking of leaving her for another, more reliable bike. Please help me fix this relationship!!!
