Default Xp don't like to start in cold weather (update)

Well i just picked up my 850 from the shop. The dealer put hotter plugs in (didn't make any difference) They still had a hard time starting it. He did some throttle ajustments (didn't work) Also reflashed the system but its starting to warm up so there not sure if it took care of the problem or not. Any ways they've had it for a month. And we only have about one month of riding left around here before they close the ditchs down for the summer. So time to ride. Maybe we will get a few more cold days and see how it starts then. Glad i bought the extende warranty.
Other than the starting issue and the junk tires it been a great ride so far.

Did you try the turn key on, wait 10 sec then turn off wait 10 sec, turn on wait 10 sec, turn off wait 10 sec, turn on wait 5sec then turn to start? I found this worked for me. It was in the cold weather starting procedure in the manual. Give it a try next time if you didn't.

No i haven't tried it yet I'll give it a shot! If all else fails read the instructions right.LOL Does it tell you to do it 3 times?
It must be like priming the carb. It makes sense. Thanks

Yes, it says after the initial procedure to " repeat these steps two more times for a total of three cyles before attempting to start."
