dang my 09' has always ran and started awesome at 5 degrees or 105. just over the 16k mark and all is good except for the motor burning a bit of oil.

 

My bike doesn't like to start hot,I open the throttle up and she fires...funny before my pipe and jetting she would fire right up hot and take some fussing with cold now just the reverse.you just need to know the bike...

 

Problem solved.The KACR (Kawasaki automatic compression release) was allowing too much compression to escape when trying to start.Dealer adjusted (or modified) and now the bike starts perfect (so far) ,no choke,no small turn of the throttle,just press the starter button.Kawasaki has covered the repair under warranty.Gas tank recall has also been taken care of and frame has been stamped.

 

Bike can sit now from 6:00 am till 4:00 pm now and will still start without using the choke..
