Just bought a 2001 RC (first v-twin) it has 12,000 miles on it with no mods. I have noticed that it doesn't start on the first attempt to start, (cold or warm) it's always the three or fourth try, without the use of the throttle and there is also a strong odor on gasoline during the attempted starts. Just had a tuneup to see if it fixed the problem but it didn't and i run 93 octane gas.
