jbuhl ... I never let it turn on the starter for that long (10 to 15 secs) because every time I got her going after a hard start it happened in the first few seconds (like up to 3 secs). I figured she flooded after that and there was no point in continuing. Rather aerate the engine...maybe leave...

My thinking is that the E10 gasoline in the tank separated (went off) during the winter. When I tried to start it in March I expected the smell of gasoline after a few failed attempts, but it struck me that there was no strong smell of gas (after that everything smelt of gas, including me). E10...

I did that 8 years ago (fitted an ETX 36C) and that was my experience as well. No more hard starts... until after a winter layover in early March this year. So, I bought a Yuasa YTZ 14S, which only proved that there's ample life in the lithium battery yet (despite a slight rounding off).

The bike will be going to an engineer with much experience... will let you know what happens.

Copied ages ago from this forum posted by a guy called Rainer ... I've used it many times. Power & Exh / Re: Very hard starting today « on: May 22, 2014, 11:57:10 am » One of the experienced Yamaha dealers in Germany (Yamaha Voiges) gave us a hint. To deair the motor, following procedure...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. 40,000 miles Hard start procedure - ignition off, hold down both black buttons, turn ignition on for 8 secs, screen changes, hold both buttons down again for 3 secs screen changes again, then WOT for 5 secs repeat every minute as needed, switch ignition off and...

I think so too, but dammed if I can find it.

Early December parked the bike (a XT1200 S10 (2012) ) at the end of an uneventful ride, under cover, and 3 months later, it failed to start. Changed plugs (confirmed all sparking)/bought a new battery/replaced fuel with fresh/dried the engine … made no difference (not even a single pop). Looked...

Forget the reply misread your post

Have you had the problem from new? …. or tried a more powerful battery?

Apols for the length of this… Post 23rd Dec 2017…Had the Gen 1 S10 from new since May 2012. Don’t want to bore you with the details, but have had like 50 or so hard starts (jump-started many times, push-started several times, and been trucked twice). Seems that the bile is sensitive to a combo...

Probably too late to help. My Gen1 big hard start problem for years. Did not like 'tired' batteries and ate them - especially Chinese ones. Many hard starts including one just like you describe. If battery is the cause - it's probably had it, because you had gotten started and then failed to...

Would really appreciate details of the protocol that I've bin missing bro.

V. interesting ... right out of the box. Why did you go for this possibility? Can you provide details of the mod?

For me and my Gen I S10 this is a never ending story, which I’ll not even try to recount (but 4 batteries worked to death, including Yuasa 12S in 5 years. Parasitic draw with Garmin 590 1.29 mV, which is not insignificant but manageable (~0.5 Ah in 2 weeks). My smart charger (Optimate 6) often...

Yep my standard pizza boxes (there's a note in them ... Do not exceed 85 mph with these bags on ... and other stuff) like made you feel there's not enough weight on the front end (at 80+). But rear tire pressure increase (technician at Yamaha told me use 39/40 instead of 36 psi in the back with...

69 ... good number ... good age ... s10 just goes on and on, after you get it started (Gen 1 owner). Like bike a lot.

Got the lithium battery (EarthX ETX36C) ten days ago. Failed to get the bike (1st Gen) not to start at temps down to 28 or covered with morning mist at 34. No more WOT (but I have a habit of just cracking the throttle first start of the day). No more making sure the engine is up to 75 F before...

Checkerwrecks you got a strange sense of humor there bro. Apols even CNN is in centigrade here and posting from Word did the rest. Anyway, thought I’d share because someone might benefit. ace50 … was tempted by the Yuasa YTZ14S but want this problem sorted for good. So, the EarthX ETX36C is a...

Guys after 5 years of ‘cold start’ and all the problems that go with it, WOT, fuse #4, out, being trucked twice, and push or jump started got a new battery fitted during a thorough check out by Yamaha (electrical, plugs, starter motor, and fuel delivery system ... no problem found and Yamaha...
