After stalling xt660x, it won't start
 
hey guys,

Well I just picked up my brand new XT660X.
The dealer warned me that it could stall because its new.

so yeah, it stalled... no problem.... BUT.. and it wouldn't start.
I had to stop, turn of the power and wait 20 seconds before it would start again.

is this because I tried to start it when I was still in gear and rolling?
To me it sounds more like the FI system is not doing its job.

ps. the bike was warm.

You can start the bike while it's moving no problem. But mate, it's a brand new bike...take it back to the dealer and tell them to sort it out PRONTO!

Welcome to the club btw :)

yeah, I'm going to ride it to work tomorrow.
If it still gives me problems, i'm going to take half the day off and let the dealer sort it out.

Many bikes have the stalling issue, but I thought they had fixed that on the newer versions. Mine's an '06 and it stalled a couple of times in the first 2-3 weeks, but she started again immediatly with no need to stop. That was fixed after a few minor adjustments on the bikes DIAG screen

Yours may just be a simple setting that needs adjusting too ;)

yeah, I do expect the FI system settings because there is no issue when its still cold, but thats for my dealer to sort out.

The new ones should not stall, I bought a new XTX last week & have ridden 600 miles & it has not stalled once.

Make sure your idle speed is set to 1500rpm when it has warmed up.

Its running lower than 1500 for sure.
but can I fix that or do I have to take it to the dealer?

You can raise/lower idle speed by turning the idle screw. Here it is...

Don't forget you will need the Rev counter to set it at the right speed.

We have a Rev counter????

Is this only for diag stuff or for everyday use ?

Yes we have always had a rev counter, you can ride with the rev counter on the dash, it will reset back to normal when the key is cycled.

Awsome... never knew this at all.

Silly as it may sound i don't even know what it revs to :)

When you say it wouldn't start...do you mean it turned over but didn't fire, or nothing at all happened when you pushed the button?

Reason I ask is, for a while I couldn't get my Tenere to start at all if it was in gear - push the button and nothing happened. Which was odd, until I realised it was actually just the position of the clutch switch that was a bit off, meaning it wouldn't start with the clutch pulled right in, but if I let it back out 5mm it would.

If it's turning over but not firing, then it is obviously nothing to do with that. But if it's not turning over at all then it might be worth taking a look at the clutch switch.

1/ Press both SELECT & RESET buttons and then switch ON Key switch, keep SELECT & RESET buttons pressed for at least 8 seconds. Display then changes to "DIAG". Release SELECT & RESET buttons.

2/ Press the SELECT button once until CO displays, press SELECT & RESET buttons again & hold, CO1 should display.

3/ Once selected CO1, switch on the kill switch & crank the motor. Once started the rev counter should be in the right side of the LCD screen.
thanks guys, you saved me from a long walk today.
I haven't set the rev yet, but thats for the dealer to do.
And if they don't I will play with it a bit.

the bikes stalled this morning and it took me 30 minutes to get the idle speed to the point it wouldn't stall.

it would start but after 1 second it would stall again.
