im interested in the outcome

 

talked to my mate whos a mc mech and he said if it wants to or starts with aerosol its a carby problem or fuel supply

 

*UPDATE*

Went out last night and tried to start it for ***** and giggles and it fired right up on the first crank. Not sure what the issue was, I havent touched anything since last time that I posted. Wish I could say that I actually did something to fix the problem but...

 

So you flooded the **** out of it prior and now that it's had time to sit and evaporate it fired right up.

Next time it does this, hold throttle wide open until it fires, could be the problem.

 

It is puzzling when that happens. Taking off on a trip with a bike that "fixed itself" is a bit concerning. However, since a bike really can't fix itself, I'd look for things you did and also eliminate (for a time anyway) things it can't be. Just brainstorming. Did you bump some wires? I'd look for connection problems. Did you empty the carb after the last time you messed with it? A leaky float can fill up and cause flooding until it sets and leaks out. This doesn't sound likely. A coil can be intermittent and give you temporary problems. Some crud could have finally passed and now it's truly fixed ... until it clogs again. Was the fuel you drained from the tank, in the reserve position, clean? Are you running a glass cased fuel filter? They're kind of handy for seeing fuel, lack of fuel, or contaminated fuel.

 

things dont fix themself id be concerned it happening again far from home. check needle and seat

 

yeah iam thinking sticking float add that with the crud found in the float bowl

 

i hope you find something inside that way you know the problem
