I wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem. Twice now I've had a difficulty with my GT starting. It will crank a bit slowly and start only with a slight advancement of the throttle. Once started it runs roughly with some missing. If I shut it down and try later it often will start and run normally. Today I took it to my dealer. They checked the computer which had no faults and uploaded a new software update. We couldn't reproduce the problem at the dealers so I rode it home and it performed perfectly. I parked in my garage and tried starting after it had cooled down a bit and it started normally but seemed to be idling a bit slowly. A couple hours later I started it again and it started and ran smoothly but still seemed to be idling slowly. When running normally its idle was probably 200-300rpm faster. It might be a temperature related thing but I haven't been able to pin it down. I called the dealer and he wants me to bring it back and leave it a few days with them so they can check it out more and see if they could make it repeat the problem. I sure hope they find something solid, I hate intermittents. In my 30 year career as an electronic tech with the FAA intermittent failures of equipment were the bane of the job.
Other than this problem I've had no problems with this scooter since I bought it a year ago last February. The bike is a delight and about the handiest thing I've ridden in town. Not bad on the highway either. Our local dealer is one of the best I've ever dealt with as well. I guess I'll take it back to them and ride the K1100 for a few days.
