96" hot restart
I have a question. I've noticed my 08 DWG starts great when cold but a hot restart can be hit or miss. What is a good strategy for a hot restart? Open the throttle a little? Give a primer shot of fuel? On my evo I open the throttle a little.
Thanks,
Richard

Do you let the fuel pump and check engine light cycle through before a restart? I read here when starting hot just to hit the starter right away and whadda know it starts a lot easier. Give it a try.
Edit: FWIW I wouldn't give it any throttle it's an EFI not a carb.

I don't remember if I wait or not, I'll pay more attention to see if there is an impact.

Same **** happens to me. Usually happens at the gas station and pisses me off. I'll try the start right away thing with out waiting for the fuel pump and check engine light. Hadn't heard of that before.

I've had the best luck hitting start immediately after the pump stops priming, which is a split second before the check engine light goes out. Either way it's a crap shoot for me.

Hot start for me, bike in neutral, flip run switch, immediately hit starter, always starts right up no problems. When a used to wait for lights to go out( which I still do for cold starts) the hot start would be labored and would take a couple of tries. Works for me.
