2019 Tiger Sport. 50 000 k.
Bike runs perfectly, start first attempt when cold. but its reluctant to idle, without some throttle when hot. though it cranks and starts just fine.
About to do a oil,filter and air cleaner change, so though Id investigate this while at it.
Any suggestions on possible causes, that I should check would be appreciated.
Unlikely (IMHO), valve clearances closing up will give reluctant cold starting in my experience. No experience of symptoms if clearances have opened up (more unusual)
Got out for little 350 k test ride today and although I’m not sure exactly what has changed, but after my service and TuneEcu Scan/check, bike is running like a swiss watch and started perfectly hot or cold.
Did you do ‘reset adaptations’ in TuneECU? That makes the bike forget all it’s adjustments it ‘learns’ to make the bike run as lean as possible for emission control. (The last service I did that made the bike feel a little more responsive and fuel economy to drop by 10%).
I also had poor running problems when bike was still in warranty, and that got fixed by dealer the same way.
My bike has a 1200 twin engine, different to yours, so may behave differently in this regard.
