yes, that is correct, this happens and not sure why, as I have tried priming fuel injector until they stop priming and then give an engine start but it does that sometimes and there is no pattern in regards to temperature or anything else.

I have a touchless electric tester that turns red when it senses current. I've been putting it by the first spark plug wire when starting to see if when it does the hard start if it senses current or not. So far it hasn't did the hard start since using the tester. I also switched to mid grade gas. We will see.

10k mile service - DIY (also, Spark Plugs Not Tight & Wire Boots Not Pushed On!)

Sharing my experience here changing the air and fuel filter and inspecting the spark plugs. Refer to the manual for the basics, but here are things that may help, along with some very surprising discoveries I made... 1) Removing the tank There are three things to disconnect besides the bolt...

@imcool where are you at with checking/adjusting your valves? I'd be curious to know if that hard start continues after you've readjusted your timing. The timing being off could account for hard starts. Some of the bikes in this thread don't have many miles, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee that the timing is set as it should be and on older bikes, originally set properly, it could develop over time. Just a wild theory (one of many)...

So I finally had the non starting issue pop up while I had the non contact voltage indicator on the spark plug wire. It was reading no voltage while I was trying to start it until I stopped and hit the start button again. Fuel has nothing to do with it. Now that I know this I'll see what my triumph dealer has to say about it monday when I go there

Thanks for the info. That confirms my suspicion that something isn't always getting turned on correctly on the first push of the start button but then works correctly on the second push.
