Mine too. LOL

 

Yep, mine does the same.

 

My 02 carb bike seemed to do this more on our recent road trip thru Canada and in New York. Both areas sell 10% ethanol gas. Used Sunoco 94 and Citgo 93. Bike has BB kit and cams. Think this maybe a character of the ethanol gas? Bike hasn't done this since using non-ethanol gas. Gas mileage suffered a little bit also.

 

My brand new bike does it. It has no mods yet. The only reason I can see that it does it is when I let off of the start button to soon. Seems normal to me.

 

X2, mine did it both bone stock (right at the dealership) and after the stage 1...

 

Vinsil, I also have an 09' FXDB. How do you like the stage one? The stealership was trying to sell it to me but I can't see $1,300.00 worth of work.

 

I LOVE it! It transforms the bike completely, and is how they should come from the factory. The engine runs cooler, the torque and power band feels more linear...



and, I did it all myself. I bought a PC-V from fuel moto after I figured out what AC and pipes I was going to run, cost $312 shipped and loaded with the proper map.


I bought the SE stage 1 air cleaner, the dealer gave me $200 in parts so that was basically free, but it would have been $150 minus the 15% off they give for the discount I get...

and I scored a set of used slip-on's off here till I figured out what full system I wanted. I paid $180 for them, and you can buy new cycle shacks for that much or Rush...or watch for the used ones.


So, I am $492 in my stage 1. Would have been $620 if I paid for the AC myself.


The install is EASY. Get yourself a service manual and if you can change your own oil, you can install the AC, slip-on's/exhaust system and whatever tuner you chose to go with yourself and save a bundle.







Good luck! and sorry for the thread hijack.

 

Yeah, mine does it only when people are watchin too. Inevitably they always ask me what's up with that? I just shrug my shoulders and try again. The other thing I noticed is that it only does it when the motor is hot (at a refueling stop etc), but if I let it cool down/first thing in the morning. Starts right up on first crank.
