Hello all,
I had my Monster serviced at the dealer in February and when riding it back on a cold night noticed that it was having some difficulty idling - when I pulled up to a stop light the bike would die and I would have to restart it with the RPM around 4k. I figured it was the weather (super cold that night, near freezing) even though I hadn't experienced problems with that before.
I just pulled the bike out of the garage now that beautiful weather is upon us in the Midwest and the same problem is still happening. I also notice that when I am cruising in second gear at 4k-5k RPM the bike is lurching and jumpy despite me not adjusting the throttle.
My gut says this is a faulty spark plug but wanted to gather your thoughts before I crack it open.
Thanks
