I tried starting it again this morning with no luck. I have taken the air box off and I will inspect it thoroughly. Also I will pull a plug to see if it is flooded. I tried cracking the throttle while cranking. I also tried pulling the fuel enricher out and at various locations to no avail. I will also try adjusting the idle screw up a little to see if that helps. greenbarn thinks the fuel enrichment doesn't work after the removal of the idle solenoids but it's a cable connected to the throttle body so that shouldn't affect it's function should it?
Don't quote me on that... I was thinking "maybe", but from memory of a galaxy far far away... Like I said, it's been over a year since I've had mine apart, and no reason to look at it or think about it since. I know mine (fuel enricher) doesn't seem to work either - have to hold the throttle for a bit when it's cold, since I disconnected my solenoids.

- January 02, 2017, 07:35:38 AMWhat choke do you have? The EFI system has no "choke", but rather a hand throttle adjustment that barely moves the plates when pulled all the way out. Designed for when the vacuum solenoids are not quite enough to keep it running. You did plug/remove and seal the vacuum hoses to the old fast idle solenoids you removed, right? I took mine off about 5 years ago, and I crack the throttle just a wee bit when cold starting.

- January 02, 2017, 05:35:27 AMThat would explain why it had no effect 
But I still wonder why it started right away on the first try but not on the second (or third) try?
I still think it was the colder air on the second try.
Maybe an issue with the air temp sensor?
I have the fuel controller and will install it to see if it makes a difference.

- January 01, 2017, 21:40:51 PMIt's been over a year since I've had mine apart - so memory is failing me here - but doesn't the "choke" (fuel enricher) work in connection with all the stuff you took off?? Like I said, I'm not remembering the details, but seems to me they're related. I could be wrong - am quite a bit...

- January 01, 2017, 17:12:12 PMMy Christmas gift to me from me was an air box kit from Chucksters Customs. ( I always know just what I really wanted). I made a video of the installation with a little product review included. Over all I am happy with their product. At the end of the video after the mod I opened the garage door (it was warm in there at first) and the bike fired right up first time! Then when I tried to restart it would catch and cough but wouldn't run?
It was about zero degrees Celsius today. Could it be the cold weather that is causing the bike not to restart? I know I read reviews of guys doing the mod and having a heck of a time starting on colder mornings. I was using the choke.
