Is one of the indicators of a bad tps, if the bike starts hard-- fires once or twice and then dies, and you have to crack the throttle almost wide open to get it to start, kind of like a flooded carb would do. Smoked like it was flooded for a few seconds.
My '06 has done this twice after setting for a few days. I am hoping it is a tank of bad gas.
I did the Barbarian and ran a tank or 2 thru before this started to happen. Thinking this might be related to the mod and the wild temperature fluactions here recently, I went back to the stock pin pos. and CO readings.
I'll run the rest of the tank out and see if it continues. Otherwise, it has been running great for 4,000 miles.
Just wondered if I should be watching for a recall on an '06--- serial# 712.
