Do yourself a favor and grab some brake cleaner and a shop rag and remove the mark from the tire. It is really NBD.

The question is what happened before the attempt to clear the flood. If they cranked the battery until dead 2 times and then try the WOT method, it will likely never work. But, like you said, my hard starts cleared in seconds. I dont wait past the 3rd or 4th revolution to go WOT.

Between the two of them, yes. All answers are there. Whether or not someone is satisfied with the answer is another problem, but not mine. It isn't a big issue, really. My motto has always been, "I dont short circuit electrical components until they start on fire."

Somewhere on this forum I wrote a big ole explanation of this. see if you can find it because all the answers are there.

. He was cranking for over a minute, and we think it is his regulator? why? why do you think that the regulator would do this during long cranking periods?

I vote wire fire, right hand side contains starter relay. this wasnt a gasoline fire. You would know if it was a gasoline fire.

measuring battery or charging voltage is about the same as gauging the fight of a dog by its bark. I think it is great when people take on their own repairs. I love it when they are successful. I dont like it when that success is by chance, and the reason for that is on the odd chance they...

Man, I stepped away for a month or two and missed some of this. At least I got to see this blow down. Anyone have a hard start recently?

Well, things do change. This exciting endeavor of teaching abroad in New Zealand has brought about some harsh realities. It is entirely bittersweet that I am listing my 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere XT1200Z for sale. There are tons of extras: Givi Crash Guards $141 Parabellum Tall Winshield $199...

Re: Very hard starting today Cars dont have decompression mechanisms

What if the bike isn't aimed at the shaft drive tubeless touring crowd? Every time I read a review of a bike by the Journo's I get a little frustrated. The liter bike review in the On Two Wheels praised the Aprilia and the Yamaha for the poise on streets, R1 was too tall of gearing, almost no...

i wrote a massive post on how FI systems work and why they can't self diagnose a flood condition, but some people refuse to read it, or refuse to believe it. Just glad you folks dont have carbureted bikes.

i always get on the bike from the left side before starting unless I get on from the right side. It seems to help. But really, it doesn't matter what you sub for ear, there are a lot of placebos going on.

it is 2012. sorry

Nice. I was up there this last Sunday visiting my parents at their new endeavor, a coffee shop and store in the top of the hill shops in Fish Creek. Looks like you hit all the really good spots on your trip.

Re: Re: What you did to your Tenere today??!! All you have to try to understand it is to close your eyes, put your arms out in a neutral position, and make contact with the grips of the bars. You will notice real quickly that the outside of the palm (in riding position) contacts first, and...
