- Yamaha Sidewinder 153 MTX 2020, 270 maptun kit.
Had issues a while back starting my sidewinder, only starts when turning ignition and holding gas lever slightly in, will NOT idle by itself, dies out.
Filled it up with fresh gas and
Drove to work to try and get it inside the warmth, worked great after being in the heat for some hours. And worked for a couple weeks.
Now, today when it's been outside without being started for 3 days, it has the same issues again.
Any idea what it can be? I figure fouled plugs. But strange that it happens after standing still for a while.
It has 2000km, on what I presume is plugs from when it was new.

I have had this happen on my wife’s sled. Make sure there is no moisture in the sensors in the vaccum lines that go into the nose area by fuse box. It’s could also be the sensor on the throttle body rack.Had issues a while back starting my sidewinder, only starts when turning ignition and holding gas lever slightly in, will NOT idle by itself, dies out.

I'll make sure to check those vacum lines when I get off work!I have had this happen on my wife’s sled. Make sure there is no moisture in the sensors in the vaccum lines that go into the nose area by fuse box. It’s could also be the sensor on the throttle body rack.

Make sure the rubber hose under throttle bodies going to the idle air circuit does not have a kink it it or a blockage from water and oil freeze.. That will plug off your idle air.
