r12gjg Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 hi I'm new to this site and also this bike ,2008 r1 loving the bike despite my problem. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. my problem when I try to start the bike it wont start unless I use throttle, it will then start when It does however it wont idle unless I rev it to around 6k and then it will sit and idle fine. rides perfect no problem until you shut it off and try to start it again. then I have to just do the same again. any help will be greatly appreciated. many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Variomatic Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Perhaps your idle is set too low? Clogged fuel injectors? Need new plugs? Low compression? I'm not sure, hopefully some of the more experianced guys will have a better idea than me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
