Hot Start? NOT Start!
I just got home from the local practice track, and encountered the same prob i had last time I rode my YZF.
My bike starts 2nd kick 99% of the time. It has a lean miss once it reaches operating temp, but it's not so bad that I can't ride aroud it. I never have any trouble starting it, unless I bobble and kill it on the track. Then I can kick it for days and get nothing. It's happened twice, and both times I've been on the far side of the track. The first time, I had to prop the bike up against the starter's doghouse and stagger back to the truck for liquids.
This was only slightly less embarrassing than wetting one's pants in public.
Tonight, I sat on the bike for 10 minutes (after kicking myself into a semi-coma) and the *&%##%&* fired up on the second kick. I rode about 20 feet before it sputtered to a stop. %&#@^*!!! Some IDIOT forgot to turn the gas back on! Incredibly, it fired up on the third kick, and I rode it back to the truck.
I tethered the &%$&*@ to the truck, and unlocked the door to grab some Gatorade. I sat down on my tailgate to ponder the meaning of life, and inadvertently sat on my alarm remote. Of course, my alarm went off, and when i reached for my keys, I knocked them off into the tall grass my dumb*** had parked in.
By the time I found them, no fewer than 3 smart*** @#^%$&s had walked by and said "Hey man, your alarm's goin' off."
NO %$#& , Sherlock!!! None of them could hear me, though, coz I was on my hands and knees lookin' for the @%&* keys.
I'm sitting here now - half hoping that I've imagined the whole thing. What should I do about my lean condition?
