Fuel smell source
Written by david_a_fugl... on 2/13/2011 at 11:54 pm

Stan,

Just one more thing. The PC is the first bike I have owned that starts so much
better when warm if I give it just a little bit of throttle. Without a slight
twist of the throttle it will not fire right up. That is actually the starting
procedure in the owner's manual too. Maybe you already do this. If so,
nevermind.... :)
