Default Weird starting issue
Bike as in siggy, PV tuner. Bike starts great when cold. Bike starts great when hot or warm too. BUT if I start and then stop for just a short period, like less than a minute or two, it has a hard time starting. If I twist the throttle it'll catch and run fine. It sounds like I may need more (or less?) fuel, but I'm not sure where the best place in the tune is to do that.

Try increasing/decreasing cranking fuel for the middle temps in the table.
