I'm just guessing here, but it could be that U are pressing the start button for too long a period. I've had same symptoms doing this. With bike in neutral, turn key to on and You'll hear the circuits and sensors come on. Without any throttle press the start button till it turns over. If it doesn't start right away, let up on the start button and wait a bit and press the button again. It doesn't say this in the owners manual, but I always turn key off and then back on to recycle the circuits before I try to restart. That is how I was instructed when I bought it at the dealership. My '05 Fse takes two try's when it's cold every time. If you've flooded it then start it with throttle fully open. Hope this helps and I'm not completely off base with diagnosis.
These are great bikes.

Did Microsoft make this starting procedure? Sounds just like the "Ctrl+Alt+Delete"

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I have heard that you have to turn the key off and wait for some period of time for the EFI to reset - I forget the amount of time necessary.

BTW - comparing "knocking the power cord out of the wall" to "ctrl-alt-delete" - I find both to be equally effective.

To answer Matt's question, yes, I believe this is a MicroMagneti product and as Jeff states, works quite well.

Mine has done that while starting the bike in gear. Is it in neutral? I also idle the bike for a while after washing to hopefully steam off any water that could be on any sensitive elctrical areas. After that you could try a defrag and updating your antivirus...

Default EFI reset procedure

The '03 400 manual does outline the starting procedure and states if it doesn't start to turn the key off for 15 sec to reset the EFI. Seems to work for me but on cold mornings a slight twist of the throttle solves more problems than assisting it with the kick start. Like many others the cheesy kick has never worked in my favor.
