Hi. Fellow riders..

Had some difficulty starting the engine even I stop it a few hours ago..
Had to on and off the ignition a few times with choke on to get it start.

Any possible problem that you guys know off?

Bike is a stock 93.
Thanks in advance.
 
Need more info, but start with plugs and check your battery. Probably use a sync too.
 
when you turn the key on ...do you hear the whirr whirr of the v boost system check??......can you hear the fuel pump clicking??
 
Yupe. The pump and vboost activate upon turning the ignition key to On..
The plugs are new too.

Had drained the battery once from all the cranking.
Recharge it and managed to start again as what I stated in my first post..
Hope it will not happen while I am away from home with my Max...
 
If you try to start it a few minutes after stopping it then it starts up fine but if you let it sit for a few hours then you have trouble getting it to run? Or is it hard to get running regardless of how much time has passed since you last had it running?
Have you noticed it wanting to die if you let it idle?
Are you sure you are getting fire to all 4 cylinders?
 
Just back from a short ride.
Realised I can get it fire up after 2 or 3 times of cranking and on/off the ignition with choke on..
If I stop over for a petrol, it is functioning well without any repetition of on/off of ignition.

Do not know if it is a problem arising soon or normal..
Did not had such an issue b4.

Am using ngk iridium plugs for about 3weeks.
Idling is good after the engine got lubricated and warm up.
Engine sounds normal and exhaust pressure feel balance both sides.
