Just got a brand new '03 busa, 0 miles, delivered to the house. The cycle shop says they prepped it, fluid, inspection, etc. However, they only put about a tablespoon of gas in. I never owned a brand new bike and have a couple questions.
Before every start I go down the checklist from the manual, fluid resvoirs, etc...
First, the first couple times tried starting, it took about 3 tries before success. Is that anything to be concerned about?
Second, the manual says to pull the choke for cold starts and close it after about 30 seconds. But, when I push the choke that soon it sounds like it's about to stall. What's up with that?
Also, the manual says to keep it about 2000 rpm when warming up, but with choke idle only see about 1000 rpm.
Third, while it's warming up, it smells like burning metal, like when my Jeeps way low on oil. And, after my first ride, a slight mist of smoke was rising from the front of the bike when I was parking. Coule this just be some of the new paint I smell and see burning and breaking in?
Like I said, very first brand new bike. I hope I'm just being paranoid, but I would hate this thing to have any problems before I even get it wide open.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
