Hi guys, I couldn't find any links to my problem on the site so I started a new thread. Apologies if it has been covered already.
I have a 2012 McQueen bonnie.
When I try to start the bike after a coffee stop of maybe 20 mins-half hour on a long journey she stalls. The bike turns over no problem, starter cuts out but it won't get up to idle speed then the engine dies completly. Holding the throttle slightly open makes the situation worse and it will stall quicker. The only way I have figured out to prevent it happening is to pull out the enricher (choke) half way to get her going. Once the revs get up to around 2,500rpm I kill the choke and it runs perfectly at approx 1,100rpm. It's like the engine is being starved of fuel.
I can hear the fuel pump kicking in when I turn on the ignition.
I have done no mods whatsoever to the bike, it is as it came from the factory.
Has anybody else encountered this or do I need to go back to the dealer for a warranty check?
Thanks.
