07 R1 engine start event

Hello~ I just got my 07 R1.... And I found a problem that it's difficult to start the engine smoothly.. I tried 2~4 times for starting successfully when cool.... And tried 2~3 times for starting successfully when hot.... then it was still 2~4 times for me to do this when cool down 3 hours later... Is there anyone having the same conditions?? Please let me know what's probably wrong.......>_<

Give it a little gas.

How Many Miles is on it????? Happened to me a few times, But with less than 100 Miles. Also it was +-40 Deg. Outside while i was Trying to start... +1 I gave it a little gas and it started right up.. And FYI if you have a Problem getting into first from there. The Kickstand has a Sensor, and wont go into gear with it down,,, it will Stall...(Safety Feature)

As soon as it starts to fire, hold the starter in a tiny bit longer. Works everytime. AK

like others have said, you need to hold the starter slightly longer than you would on other bikes you are used to and give it a little gas. Also wait for that whiring sound to happen twice before you start.

does it happen to UK versions as well?

i have noticed that if i give it a little throttle right after it starts it will die. Any idea what would cause that?

Also wait for that whiring sound to happen twice before you start. Not necessary.

Sine I got the de-lagged ECU in mine, it takes a little more to get it started when cold. Normally I will hold the starter and it will crnk 5-6 times and try to catch, but won't. I have learned to just keep holding it until the 7th or 8th turn over when it will catch for real and start.
