    '05 FSE won't start when its cold. AAARRRGGG!

    Thanks jeffd, I'll try those guys. I have done everything you have suggested except to have the dealer trim the injection. The service manager at the place I bought the bike said they had so little experience with them that they could be of little hope with problems.

    '05 FSE won't start when its cold. AAARRRGGG!

    The EFI is supposed to compensate for the oxygen level. That is why I bought this bike. My Harley is also injected and starts on the first turn, every time, at elevations from 12,000' to 4000'. I have disconnected the yellow/blue wire and it has seemed to start better since then, but still...

    Fuel map questions for '05 FSE 450

    I have a couple other bulletins addressing grinding the throttle stop and starting the bike. Good info I got from the local dealer.

    Fuel map questions for '05 FSE 450

    I have obtained a service bulletin titled "tuning for races" with instructions to disconnect the yellow and blue wires under the gas tank for a richer fuel map. It has been suggested I might want to install a toggle switch so I can instantly go back to the lean map if necessary. Is there any...

    New to the fold

    Not gray, Red. I talked to another guy who lives near me, he had the same comment regarding the mapping selector. We have had another 2 feet of snow here this weekend. Skiing is great, but I have summer and motorcycles on the brain. Will have to haul down to lower elevation when the snow melts...

    New to the fold

    Hello fellow Gassers, Brad here from Colorado. I had never heard of GG until about a week ago. Did tons of research online, talked with a couple dealer/riders, found a new '05 FSE450 at a dealer 4 hours away, went for a look and brought her home two days ago. :D I'm stoked! This is my first...
