I would check the Fuel filter on the fuel pump inside the fuel tank, you will need to remove the tank so run the fuel low as it will need to be inverted to get at the pump. Be very careful with the tank seal, you will need to reuse it unless you purchased a new one. Refill the tank with good quality fuel and test
vacuum bleeding is best for these brakes. To do it without a vacuum pump you must pull the handle very slowly and pause about three seconds between handle pulls to allow fluid to refill the piston chamber.
On the starting issue alone. It sounds very much like a loose ground connection at the battery or starter perhaps. Sounds crazy but, check you negative connection at the batttery and at the starter. This could explain why it is not a constant issue...yet. Hope this helps, and please post your solution when completed. Thanks,
Doubt its plugs, if it fires up when you can smell gas the plugs are working when pretty wet so if working ok then they are probably fine.
Sorry I cannot help much more but if you do pull the plugs out, check they are sparking when ever you engage the starter not just after your on/off fiddle with the ignition
Check the vent on the gas tank. Open the lid when it is hot and see if alot of pressure escapes, if so the furl tank vent is plugged and building up pressure to flood the engine.
Make sure you aren't using an incompatable oil, wet bath clutches need engine oil to be compatable. Most synthetics will cause slip in taller gears due to added load. Lower gears usually won't slip but 3rd and up will.
Check your left hand control switch for normal operation and your high beams relay and the harness for shortcuts.Assuming that your battery and charging circuit are ok.
Check the coolant sensor.Probably reads to the ECU that the engine is cold while it is not and the ECU injects more fuel that it should.Unscrew the coolant sensor (it is located on the cylinder head or on the thermostat casing) and boil it in water and measure it's resistance before (cold) and after boiling it (hot).It should not be the same.
It could be a sticky thermostat, you could try removing the thermostat completely and see if this clarifies the problem, there might also be a sender unit that is giving an inaccurate reading. Are you sure head gasket is not blown? Do a compression test, smell the coolant , does it smell like petrol, is the engine oil milky! Make sure the radiator is running freely and has no blockages, also check if you can obtain a thermostat that will switch at a lower temperature threshold, sometimes the manufacturer produce these for countries with hot ambient air temperatures.
coils when begining to go bad can cause that problem.check the spark when cold. and after it gets hot and wont start, check the spark again, if its a weaker spark or no spark, its likely the coils. you can pull the coils off and take them to get tested.

DON'T just randomly cut wires! The Power Commander is linked into the bikes ECU (it's brain), Fuel injection system and in some cases the ignition system so cutting wires could turn into a VERY expensive mistake. If you have no experience with bike electronics pay an auto electrician or bike tuning specialist to remove it for you.

So onto the answer. You now have NO Errors, C00 is no error. This tells you how to get rid of the FI Light.
