    I haven't been riding in a week and it's been pretty cold out (30-40F). I got on this morning and the engine wouldn't start. It kept sputtering. After 15 minutes of trying to start it up it finally worked. I let it run for a couple minutes and it was real jumpy/sputtering with the RPMs at around 700.
    Was it because it's been sitting out in the cold for a week? Is this common? Because I thought with fuel injection I wouldn't have to worry about stuff like this.
    Thanks for the help everyone!!

    Fouled plugs. Pull um clean them with a wire brush some rubbing alcohol. Reinstall try again with a little throttle applied

    Try the plugs if that doesn't help could be bad fuel with the new gas that is out the shelf life now is only 15days from all that I have read.
