Will do. It sounded like OP was having same issues and I didn't see the fix.

I returned from vacation Mon and since my bike is having a hard time starting. 5-10!seconds holding the start button the first couple of times and no start, accompanied with backfire. Once it starts it idles and runs great.
Any suggestions as to what might be happening? I'm really mechanically ignorant but am willing to learn.
Thanks
