I have been reading threads about people having problems starting their bikes, but not sure if what I am experiencing is the same. Occasionally when I try to start my bike it coughs and sometimes it seems to spit back through the air filter. I hit the kill switch wait a couple of seconds and try again and usually it will start right up. Is this the same problem that others talk about when they say they have a problem starting their bikes? Or is my situation different? Is this normal? Is there something wrong that I need to have checked? It seems to be happening more often now.

Thanks

 

No idea if its normal but mine does it every once in ahwile.

 

Yeah, mine does it sometimes too.

 

I don't think its a big deal, mine does it sometimes too. I kinda feel like it does it when I release the starter button too soon.

 

Yea mine does it also every now and then,
But only if someone is watching..

 

Mine does the same thing.

 

Mine has done this several times, I just done worry about it ,always does it when someone is watching.

 

happens to me once in a while as well.

 

Is this problem on bikes with tuners (PCV/III, TT, SERT,...)?

Any similar problem with stock bikes?

 

Yeah,same here,on a carbed bike,usually after a short run,on re start it coughs.Open the choke slightly,then it doesnt do it.
