[QUOTE="jboomer, post: 736211, member: 27524"] Like I mentioned, this is a recurring problem, not a one time deal. The plug's good and yes, I always turn my fuel off before transporting and when storing. But, an idea occurred to me...it only seems to happen when I transport the bike a long distance. I wonder if A. maybe the bike bouncing around in the back of the p/u is allowing the fuel already in the bowl to splash into the cylinder and/or B. when I load/unload if I'm not twisting the throttle a tad (it's kind of an odd angle, ya know?). I've gotten the bike started since my post, so I know everything is in working order. It has got to be something to do with it flooding. I left it to sit for probably 8 hours (after kicking for 2 hours and not having any luck) and when I went back to try and start it it fired first or second kick. It has to be something to do with transporting it. I'm going to start it and let it run for a few seconds with the petcock off before taking it out to the riding area tomorrow. Just to see if it helps any. [/QUOTE]
