Go back to your dealer and have it checked for any recalls. Chances are, you've got a really lean engine - your dealer will help.

I talked to the original owner today ..he thinks I may not have waited for the engine light to go off ..
And I learned that the bike as lot more mods than I thought .. he did the stage II big bore 1550cc .. 95 inch .. and a bigger oil pump ?? anyways after 10 minutes I was pretty much lost ,, even if this isnt my first bike .. he had the mods done at Pascal Picotte shop .. Pascal is Quebec racer on the canadian circuit and does some ama races .. its good to know they where done by professionals .. he was telling me it gets 104 foot pounds of torque at the back wheel .. i'm thinking this is a good thing ;-))

I tried it out tonight waiting for the engine light to go out .. it starts like a charm .. problem fixed ;-))
