V-Strom specific discussion / Re: 2004 VStrom 650 Cold Start Issue
« Last post by ehaughn on February 04, 2026, 21:00:11 »A few updates.
Outside temperature 57 F
Fast idle set at 2,000 RPM
Started fine, ran at 2,000 RPM for about 1 min 12 seconds
Temperature gauge running at idle
1 bar took 3 mins 18 seconds to display
2 bars took 6mins 51 seconds to display
3 bars took 11 mins 57 seconds to display
I then turned off the bike
Tomorrow I will do another cold start and measure the RPM and duration.
