Install new sparkplugs. Activate choke. Do not touch throttle. Push starter button. Do not touch throttle. If bike stalls repeat until it stays running, then you may give it a little throttle. If I give my TL any throttle on start up it floods. It usually takes 2 or 3 tries where the bike starts then stalls before it stays running. DO NOT TOUCH THROTTLE UNTIL IT IDLES. THEN GENTLEY.
Hello,
Did you finally get a repair or solution to your problem? I had a similar thing happen.
Thanks,
Roger

My 97 tl1000s has the same problem. It sat most of last year and i have never had problems with starting it before. On attempting to start it now, the front cylinder appears to be running and the rear pops and backfires. When the plugs are removed they are soaking wet, but there is pleanty good spark when the plugs are tested. I fitted new plugs and it eventually started but once it cooled down again it will not start. I changed the oil and it was smelling strongly of petrol. I have now removed the injectors and fuel rail and they appear clean enough. My initial thoughts where the fuel may have gone off. Is it possible the fuel preasure regulator is stuck open and flooding the cylinders or is this an electrical fault. HELP.
I own a 97 Suzuki Tl 1000s. It previously ran and started well. It sat most of last year unused. It now fails to start, when the plugs are removed they are soaking wet. I tried new plugs and managed to start it but once it had cooled down it will not start again. I have removed the fuel rail and the injectors and they appear to be clean. I changed the oil and it was smelling strongly of petrol. A couple of times it did start it was running on the front cylinder only and backfiring on the rear cylinder. My initial thoughts were the fuel had gone off, but I'm not sure. HELP.
