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...
Malleus Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Things that come to my mind are faulty battery or air filter. But it could probably be a whole host of things. I would get hold of a service manual and maybe have a look through diagnostic mode to see if you can see if anything is abnormal. - can also check error code history to see if it has had any problems before, which may be useful.
