I looked through a few pages of results when searching for my particular issue when starting my VTX1300c.
Most dealt with cold motorcycles or issues with the electrical or starter system.
My problem is different from those I found.
When my bike is hot and I stop for a break, it does not want to start unless I give it a quick snap of the throttle.
I do not winterize my bike other than to start putting Seafoam in the tank when the days start getting colder. I use a Battery Tender also. I ride as long as it is 40 or above all winter long.
I am wondering if I run a few tanks of gas through it with a slightly stronger Seafoam ratio if that could dissolve any crud or if there is something the Seafoam cannot get to that I need to look at.
The bike runs great, this is only a startup issue.
