The "So called" issue is clearly an issue, regardless of if anyone thinks it's an important one or not.

I've learned to live with it - on cold start, I have to keep the throttle somewhat cranked open to get it to fire. Otherwise, it takes 2 or 3 sets of cranks before the bike kicks over. Once warm, it starts immediately every time. If it were fuel pump pressure, would this not occur regardless of engine temp?

At 9k miles, if it isn't settled in, it won't ever be, and I still find cold starts a pain. This is the only FI bike I have ever owned that took so long to start.

If this is the only complaint from me, I can certianly live with it - as I am sure it could be worse.
