Hi Guys,
I could use some advice. I have a 2006 with 90,000km.
I think I may need spark plug changed but want to see if there may be other issues.
Recently I noticed that at times took some extra tries to start my engine after filling up the tank. No issues when the engine is cold.
Today after a long ride, I noticed my idle was twitchy and not very stable. It smooths out when first riding, but as I ride more and come to a stop the idle becomes unstable. I have the idle set to about 1300 rpms.
The last sympton I noticed is that in when I am starting in first gear it seems extra jerky and the rpms dive a bit as if wanting to stall out. I actually had to ride the clutch more than I usually do to get the bike going.
Is checking my spark plugs the best bet? Anything else I should be checking while I am looking?
