I read through some other posts about starting problems and while some are close I didn't quite find an exact copy. So here goes
I've never had a problem starting the bike if its the first start of the day. Starts fine with choke every morning
If I ride the bike, turn it off to get gas or go into the store or whatever and come back shortly after words, it starts fine also.
Where I have had problems 3 times now is when I'll ride the bike, park it for an hour or two (to go to class), come back and it has trouble firing. 'll hold the starter button and it will make the starter whizing sound but no engine start. I'll usually stop after a second, give it more choke, and fiddle the throttle a little while a try it. Once I hear the engine start turning is when I'll hit the throttle and it will come to life.
Now I've read about the sprag clutch and I truely hope it is not that. I went to a dealer to ask them and they said the next time it happens to hold the start button and feel if any exhaust is coming out of the pipes (indicating the engine is cranking). He said it might just be the fuel in the carbs vaporizing (or something) from the heat of the engine since it only happens when its been sitting for a bit after being hot.
Any ideas?
