RE: First disappointmentHello Marc,

It is commonly known not to touch the thottle whilst trying to start.
Like I wrote it always worked fine till last time after a very long no
riding period.
After next winter, if the starting problem occurs again, I'll try it your
way and give a little thottle.
Thanks for the answer.

Ludo

  Ludo,

  Happened to me also after I left my ST in the garage for 5 weeks.
  Engine rotates normal, but it would not start.

  What I did was giving it a little throttle and that worked for me.

  Hi all.
  Today the weather in Belgium was fairly good.
  After four months of no riding (winter stop) I desperately needed an (L)ST
  shot!
  My ST (february '99) until now always started from the first time.
  During the winter he had been regularly on an Optimate II tender in a
freeze
  free garage
  so the battery was fully loaded. I was curious how he would start after a
  long no drive period.
  I pushed him out, turned the ignition key, waited until the squeeking
sound
  of the FI stopped
  and pushed the start button. The starter engine turned and turned and
turned
  and ...
  NOTHING. He would not start. I had to try for half an hour (at least fifty
  start cycles) before I
  could hear that the engine was anxious to turn on. (I was lucky my battery
  was in good condition)
  At last he revved up and immediately went dead again. (I never touched the
  gas handle)
  After some more tries I could keep him on.
  I rode for about three hours with no problems at all.
  After a fuel stop he started normally.
  What could be the reason of this bad start behaviour? My previous bike
(Kawa
  750 Zephyr always
  had some difficulty starting after the winter stop but never like my ST
  today.
  Has anyone on the list had similar starting problems after a longer no
  riding period?
