Recent Starting Issues

Post by Sean »

Had a couple of early morning starting issues recently before lengthy rideouts. Relatively new to the bike still so will see what happens. Eventually it starts. All was ok before slightly colder mornings.

Basically struggled to start, but eventually fired up after maybe 10 attempts

How old is the battery?
In my experience 3 years even if they reside on a battery tender, cold morning starting issues can develop

T6 Pilot, thats what I was wondering, I'm new to the bike so not sure. Had it 3 weeks but already done over 2000 miles and it was only on the last couple of occasions it struggled, as very cool mornings.  Very interesting what you just said and feel you may be right

Struggled ... how?  Did it crank freely and just not "catch", or ?
