Having collected the bike and left it overnight in my garage I went out today to find there were issues starting it up. It kept failing like the battery had died. The battery had not died though as it was serviced / charged etc etc and on ignition the lights and all the usual dash workings occurred.
Anyway after much tries I think I flooded it so gave up. Then went in 10 minutes later and it started, just. Is there something I should do / know when starting from cold? |

Pointy dude (I saw da photos)
Clutch in, engine kills switch off; hit the starter is all I do with mine and it fires. Have you got a charger? If only only just started you might have drained the battery a bit. Other than a nice road should bump it back up. |

As it's fuel injected you can only pull the clutch in and press the starter. As far as I am aware thats it. |

Crusty terminals, corroded cable ends, bad earth, dodgy starter or solenoid are a few causes. You say the battery was serviced, but what is its age and condition?

Could be any of the above I guess, not sure. It has started a few times today, was just this morning that was the real problem. Im about to go for a blat, so will monitor this over the coming days. It has a 3 month warranty so can always have it looked at if needs be. A mate with an SP1 suggested there will be an idling control / swith somewhere under the faring, so might be if we can find that it is something to do with it? |

The ecu and sensors should fuel it correctly for start up. |
