Over the last couple of months I've noticed my MC has a slight hesitation, like a slight miss for the first mile or two after sitting for a long time in cold conditions. Then the car sorts its self out once the engine warms up or the ECU adjusts itself.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

I wasn't worried bout it until other people have driven the car and commented on it recently.

Yeah I think they all do, according to someone more knowledgable than myself posting before. My MC can also stall very easily off the driveway in the mornings and the revs dip and rise at the traffic lights sometimes. I mentioned this twice at the dealers and the first time they flashed the ECU (which helped a v. little with the revs) and the second time they shrugged their shoulders (literally! Lind Norwich!!)

It's a form of 'Choke' to warm the engine in the mornings.
Fergal.
