My bike has trouble starting, especially in the mornings. By trouble I mean that I have to hold down the starter button for about 3-5 seconds. Sometimes it will just crank for a while and eventually catch and sometimes Ill crank it and it will catch but then struggle for a bit before idling correctly. Very often I will start up the bike and during start up it will choke and struggle a bit and once it gets to idle the red light will be blinking with FI on the screen. I have not pulled the code when that comes up but I am assuming that it is a misfire code from the bike misfireing during the hard start up.
The bike has just under 11k miles, I do regular maintenance on the chain and oil changes but I have not yet changed the spark plugs or adjusted the vales. How often are you suppose to adjust the vales and change the spark plugs? Could my hard starts be the result of old plugs or valves that need adjusting?
Pull out code and see what it is. Maybe it is tps. You should change plugs every 10k but they will not give you light and code. Neither will valves out of adjustment.
+1 Get the code first. There is no misfire code. If your FI light is burning you have other problems.

I looked up how to get the bike in dealer mode and pull the code but Im not sure how Im suppose to do it. I understand that I have to put a wire or paper clip in the dealer mode connector but, I insert the wire while the bike is off and then turn the bike back on correct? The FI light doesnt come on every time I start the bike, only sometimes. Most of the time when I turn the bike off and then back on the code is gone. I tried to pull the code right now and got -c00.

When you turn the bike off you will reset the system. Put it in dealermode when the light is burning without turning the ignition off or leave it in while starting.. The c00 code = no malfunction
