had a problem starting

[moe113097]

I added slip on grab on grips on Saturday and bike would not start Sunday morning kept cranking strong but seemed like was not getting fuel. I then started cranking with throttle in wide open position and it sputtered to life . I went ridingwith friends and bike started several times no issue.

Anyone have this happen to them any guess to reason?

Here's the thing..!!

you may have flooded it while installing the grips. The trick to restart is to cranck it wide open to clear the cylinders. You did that and you should be fine. :thumbup:

But I put grips on Saturday made sure I only twisted clock wise and did not try to start until the following day and besides I thought throttle by wire does not affect fuel injection when engine is off. BTW I did remove grip end piece .

:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:, ride it a few more times and see if it happens again, if so take it to the dealer, if not it was probably just a glitch.

Flooded while putting on grips. Easy to do. Not to worry, it will be fine.

It's throttle by wire and fuel injected. You can't flood the engine by putting on grips. :shocked:

My limited has flooded 3 times over 2 years.
