We were on the right track. Took the bike to my local dealer, got instant service. Traced the issue to a lack of fuel pump pressure. The control relay was somewhat corroded. Replace it, fuel pressure back to normal, problem solved.
Happy days.
Ok, thanks. It has a tiny capacitor for the ecu, but not for starting.
I do have a local shop with excellent technical knowledge, maybe i will just take it there. I bought this bike from the owner and he has been extremely helpful on issues that pop up.
If I can't sort it out, it may have to go.
That sounds like a very good start. I have been told to try cracking the throttle a bit at the end of the kick travel. That doesn't seem to do anything.
Where do I check the fuel pump voltage? Not sure if even have a wiring diagram. Can you point me to one?
Also it was recommended to richen the tps setting. Not sure how to do that yet.
Any more specific tips are welcome.
By the way, once it starts it runs fine and does generally re start fine. Thanks.
My 2022 Vertigo Nitro JB replica with battery, is extremely difficult to start. As the temperature drops more kicks are required to start it. In the garage at 10c it took 70 kicks to start it.
Battery is good 13.3 volts, throttle body just cleaned and mass air flow cleaned, new plug. Took so long I thought it was broken. Suggestions please.
