HONDA STX 1300 STILL WON'T START WHEN COLD....NOT EVERY TIME

Still having trouble with cold start. Not every time but approx 5 out of 10 starts.
My first Pan went back to the seller who tried everything they could including replacing expensive parts.This didn't cure the problem.
I partexchanged the bike for a new Pan elsewhere, I am now getting exactly the same problem having reached 20,000 miles. The same number of miles as my last Pan.
Would really like to know if anyone else has reported the same problem. Very difficult when it doesn't happen every time. I have videoed it and played it to mechanics but still have the problem.
Anyone out there with a possible solution???
Regards Tony

Try fuel filter...it's fuel injected and needs the right pressure...low fuel pressure is starving the cylinders of gas

Testimonial: "Will pass this informatiion on to my mechanic thanks very much."

1990 Volkswagon Jetta won't turn back on after long drive.

Then you have a start up problem and it reside with the cold start valve,The cold start valve operates even if the vehicle is warmed up,the cold start valve can be plugged up,or even have a bad connection,The cold start valve operates by a thermotime switch.This switch located on the near bottom of the radiator may have gone bad or disconnected,Here is the easy cost effective route, replace them both,it will cost more to trouble shoot it than just replace it.

2005 VTX 1300. Starts good when it's cold. After the bike warms up, it doesn't want to make it over the compression stroke. Can put it in gear and rock it past the compression stroke and it will...

Have you checked the battery is charging , when the battery is cold it will regain some of the lost charge from when it was running, it is also a fact that a battery is more likely to fail when it is hot, rather than when its cold, try a battery pack on the bike when it fails to start also it would be a good idea to drop test the battery,may be something mechanical, but you need to check out the battery even a new battery can fail whet type is it?, paul
