Re: [ST] poor performance on second start



It happens every time.  So far turning off the key and restarting has not
helped.  It will continue to do it until I park it for the day or for
several hours or so, at which point it works just fine again until I shut
down and restart.  The bike has just short of 13,000 miles on it.  Very well
taken care of.  Supposedly just did the 12,000 check up.  I did notice that
the air filter has less than 1,000 mules on it.
