916 pain in the backside to start

31-10-2006, 07:15 PM

Hi, I have now owned my '02 916 monster for 5mths and whilst I adore the bike it is so tempremental to start, it can just happen for no reason, ie stopping at a petrol station, when it has been fine previously. I have put new plugs in, charged battery, cleaned/sprayed with WD40 all contacts & still it can play up. Has anyone any ideas or is this just the joys of owning an italian bike?

Cheers Mark

Ps anyone chopped the back of one them down, to shorten the back behind the pillion?
