• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2014 Rts wife’s bike. Have been having intermittent starting issues, problem mostly happens after a riding for a while then sitting for about 15 minutes. Bike cranks well but acts like no fuel or spark. After a few tries it starts right up and works fine for a few more days?? I was thinking heat soak or vapor lock? Bike has 38k on it. Fuel filter? No codes are displayed, any ideas for me to check out? Thanks for any suggestions need to keep the wife happy.
 
Assuming that your compression is good. I would start with a new fuel filter, a good fuel injection cleaner and maybe check spark plugs and coil-overs. It may be a coil is weak and not happy with the heat.
