Re: [St] Plug problem

[Neil Lindsey <Neil.Lindsey@xxxxxxx>]

this is a very old issue that has been discussed many times before

the fix is to turn key off and then re-start as you indicate -- ECU needs a
reset

there was a suggestion that it had something to do with IACV, but I'm not so
sure

in my case it was a relatively rare event that only ever happened on my '99,
never on my '03, and only after bike was shut off after a short run when it
had barely enough time to warm up -- then on re-start it wouldn't idle
without a great deal of throttle effort
