brianmacza Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 My son Gavin has a 2000 XX that has developed a wierd issue. When cold it won't idle at all. Get some heat into the motor and all is fine though. This morning he had to restart the bike about 4 times before he could get out the driveway, and it takes about 5km for it to build up enough heat to behave. Last night after he got home he had dinner and did some study work, submitted an assignment, and then at about 9PM went into the gayrage and the bike started and idled no problem - its only when it is COLD cold, first thing in the morning. Has anyone encountered something like this? Fixes? Advice? The bike has a clean air filter, new plugs, and a recent oil change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon haney Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ditto. Only thing else I can think of is the air or water temperature sensors, but those usually default to a rich condition when they go bad, not a lean condition. Good luck.
