Difficulty Starting When Sitting In Hot Sun

Move to Britain

 

Possible air lock in the system somewhere caused by the heat/sunshine?
Clutching at straws, I know, but all I can think of at the moment.

 

Sounds a bit like the engine temp sensor is reading the engine as warm due to the heat and not adjusting the fuelling to correct for a cold start situation.

 

That's much more plausible than wot I said!

I temporarily forgot that we were talking about electronic, computer driven wizardry!

 

At Triumph day at the Ace Cafe yesterday almost every other bike (mine included) had a little trouble starting. It was blistering hot, everyone's bike would start but would then die if not given plenty of throttle. At first I just thought everyone was trying to rev their engines the loudest. Wasn't until I jumped on mine and tried to start it that I realised what was going on!
