Just wanted to let everyone know what worked for me. Got my 2015 es with 8k on it in January of this year. Only to find it was hard to start in cold weather. Not that it wouldn't start. It would always start then die. On the second try it would start and stay running. I didn't think this was right for a fuel injection bike.
I ask about this on the forum earlier this year. With a lot of you saying to upgrade my battery to the 14 series. Which I did this summer. But did not have the starting problem in warm weather with my old or new battery. Back to cold weather and it is doing the same thing.
2 weeks ago I filled up the gas tank and added sta-bill and 3 oz of Marvel Mystery oil. And took it out for a spin. Something I have always done for winter storage. I ride in the winter but not as much. This has always helped my carburetor bikes. Now every time I start the s10 no matter how cold it fires up the first time and purrs like a kitten. I know that some people don't like the snake oil. But I going to keep using it.
