Long crank then start

[LILGSXR]

Lately when its been warm out the busa has been a bit pesty. I'll go to start it and it'll crank longer then usual then finally start. It runs fine after wards is it just something with the heat i mean its only got 3,000 miles on it now

yes temp has alot to do with it here in so calif bike takes a couple cranks longer to start but runs fine winter come and the 1st time it fires but take alittle longer to warm up just like a car all the sensor have to read the values and send to ecm and then adjust to it

Make sure your fast idle (choke) is adjusted correctly.
That will affect it too.

my bike does it too when its hot out. i heard it has something to do with heat adds compression or something. someone told me i couldn't go 13:1 on the big bore becasue its to hot here not sure if he is right...

Mine does to. Sometimes fires right up...sometimes takes a few seconds. I have learned to accept it as i don't think there is anything wrong with it. I have had 3 other Busas in the past that were completely stock that fired up within 1/2 a second. So be it! It's hot here in Texas!

mines goofy like that too, but it don't give a damn, hot, cold, rode, sat overnight, sumtimes just takes longer to hit than others. lately tho, i've noticed like a 4 second crank every once in awhile b4 it hits.

Could indicate that the valves need adjustment.
