Thanks for the reply. It starts fine when cold (well it takes 2-3 seconds on the starter button which feels too long) but no throttle is required. And to be honest for all the other hot starts it’s been fine too apart from these two occasions where i’d just added fuel a few minutes beforehand (always high octane esso fuel). Hence I can’t believe it’s a coincidence, possible, but unlikey.

Didnt help that some kind biker on 19 year old 90k mile GSXR saw me struggling and came over to see if he could help. He tells me his £1k bike has been trouble free for years. I’ve spent £18k and stuck in a petrol station twice in 3 weeks!

If I can limp on to 600 miles I will assuming i’m not going to cause any other problems. I’ll email the factory and ask them. You’re right, it’s under warranty so don’t wish to start changing parts. Would rather them see the high idling, try and replicate this starting problem, and get it sorted.
