i guess we are not alone

Mine will do it if I start it and take off before it has a chance to run for a few seconds, if I start it and then put on my helmet and gloves it does ok.

I've never NOT done this....no issues.
But inquiring minds and the helicopter pilot in me (if it hasn't gone wrong yet, it is about to go wrong) needs to experiment and see if this is an issue.
Today, helmet & gloves first, sit on bike, aim bike out the driveway, start and GO!
We'll see what happens....

Cheers,
Steve

Mine idles kind of high until it warms up but no stumble at all.

Agreed, no stumble but high rpm regardless of outside temp. She will take off if you let clutch out or shift from neutral like a bat out of hell. Easily get 30 mph with no throttle input

+1 No problems at all with the warm up period. Start it up when cold and ride off.

Mine has to be warmed up, otherwise if stutters and takes off. 2013f6b standard. Thought it was just me being new, its my first ride and have had it 11 months, at 9k miles right now. Still does it.

I'm sure the high idle is the computer compensating for the cold engine as mine does that when cold. I start mine put on the gear, gloves, helmet and such and by that time the idle is down and it has never hesitated when cold at all. I don't really like starting a cold motor and just hitting it right away. I even let my truck and cars warm a bit before moving just to get the oil flowing without a load on the motor.

It just makes sense Dog. I never just jump in or on something and take off. Let those lubricants get in all the right places.

I feel lucky for once / I start mine and go never a hesitation. (I know I should warm it up but I usually just take it slow for the first foot or two.)

Do you guys have the models with carbs? (Sorry / I am usually the one that has any available problem)
Did you shoot and barbecue that damn bush hog?

I have another idea back when I was a kid they always told me to take my 1968 Camaro out on the highway and go as fast as I could to burn the carbon out. I have done this with everything I own and my cars all have over 200000 miles and still run strong. If you baby an engine it just will not like it when you need to use it hard. I believe that if you ride around slow all the time the engine will never run to its full potential. I think the best thing to do is ride it like you stole it most of the time.

You guys with the stumble problem should try running a couple tankfuls with Lucas in it.

Have 25,000 miles on mine and it started to what what other have posted.
Did not know which direction to go. ( dealer or no dealer).
Thanks to the input of other F6B rider....Thank you

Will keep watch this post see if a solution is offered by Honda.
