Well, I think I have the same problem as everyone else. I changed the decomp solenoid, decomp relay, rewired the connector at the starter relay, got a new battery, adjusted the decomp system again. Still have the same problem only getting worse. I found out from the net that if I put it in 4th or 5th and rock the bike hard until I hear it turn over the engine and release compression, it cranks right up. It seems like I have to do it 4 out of 5 starts now. Very annoying. It was doing it when hot. Now I think it only does it when cold. Could be I need to re-adjust decomp linkage again.
