  1. As the title suggests.i learned today that if you hold the throttle wide open on a 959 it turns over but it will not start
    Good for getting the oil pressure up after a long lay off
    Close the throttle and away she goes

  2. Interesting - I wonder why you tried this .... was it someone else's bike :thinkingface:
     
  3. It's just a method of building up oil pressure without the load on bearings from starting it up after the bike has sat for a few months where allthe oil has drained to the sump
     
  4. Actually, it's usually to clear a flooded engine and is a feature on most Fuel Injected vehicles.
