2023 r1250rs intermittent fail to start?

[Grumpy Goat]

If it didn't start, and then you waited a minute and it started robustly it is not the battery. How long has this been going on ... through more than one tankful of gas?

Some of us have hard start issues after sitting for a work day or overnight, and attribute it to summer gas, since this only happens late spring through to fall. My RS is like that ... takes 2 tries to get started. Wintertime it starts instantaneously on the first try = robustly, as you say. All of this is in neutral although my case it makes no difference if the clutch is pulled.
