Hi,
MY 650 does not start instantly, but takes 2 or 3 full turns (compression strokes) before starting.
This surprises me since every other vehicle with Fuel Injection and electronic ignition I've tried, usually starts on first compression stroke.
I took the bike in for the 30k service last week and mentioned this, but the service made no difference. The mechanic said "probably due to a weak battery".
OK, so he could be right, but there are no other symptoms and the starter spins merrily enough.
Anybody got another idea beefore I fork out for a new battery?
