When it is cold out, like in Gunnison, (less than 50 degrees) turn the ignition on and and wait 30 seconds before you try to start the bike. This gives the battery time to "warm up". The bike should start normally after the battery is warm.
When it is warm out the Shorais operate normally.
Good post. I forgot about having to delay pressing the start button during cold weather.
If I remember right the temps in Gunnison were below 45 on Tuesday and Wednesday.
