Starting May 4th, this bike will be on sale on E-Bay.  Not my bike but a rather nice one at that.  I heard many of you were looking for a 1500.  I found one!  On youtube.com

Sounds like the engine is cold.  Choke fully off.  Mine did that too.

nice though.

The choke was still partially on. That will cause the surging. Lots of noise coming from the alternator too. No way that I will rev my bike to almost 6 G from a cold start.(if it was a cold start)

Honestly,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,why do some people do that:shock: Rev it so high at start up?????????????? If he has done that to the bike  from day one, I would be concerned. I won't even do it to my lawn mowers.
