My 03 has polished heads on it and im not sure of the specs on them. When trying to start my bike, it wont. it takes awhile to crank up. Im not sure what is causing it. Could it be low idle setting. I dont want to burn out my starter by having to keep turning it over to get it to crank. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
03 Starting Problems
- Thread starter LOKEY
- Start date
Will it start at all? If so, what is the idle set at? Did it start fine before you put the new heads on it? Welcome to the oRg. 
When was the last time the Throttle bodies were synced? How does it run once it is started?

Check your fuses, especially the fuel fuse. Try replacing them with new ones.
You are using the fast idle

It's an 03. How old is the battery? Maybe it's turning it a little slower?
How many miles? Have the spark plugs ever been changed, recently?
I might add some Seafoam, or something like it, once you get it started again, then take it for a long run,
that will work the Seafoam through it and charge the battery if it needs it.
Like the other guys said, turn up the idle too.
Just for fun try this too, sit on the bike, in neutral with the kick stand up and the clutch lever pull in and try to start it.
It may not make any difference, but it might if there is something funny with the transmission.
If you get it figured out, please post what did the trick.
