I've just bought a 2003 Tuono with 23000 miles. Runs really well but I sometimes have a problem with starting her. She's a weekend bike so I'm probably going to be told to ride her more often !!! If she doesn't start instantly she floods. It might be because I've started her the day before, just...

Hey everyone, against the collective opinions of many forum members here and on other forums, I bought my 04 Tuono 1000R for my first bike. I'm 22 and got tired of my girlfriend's 250 in about a week so I bought the cheapest liter bike on craigslist and now, here I am. On the ride home, I...
