Bike won't run after oil change

Just changed my oil and fired the bike up to check the level. After about a minute or so, I turned it off to check the level. I went to restart and it would barely chug. Turned it off and tried one more time and it would not even run, just a few coughs. Then I remembered someone else posted the same issue. Ghostrider posed an ECU reset procedure used by Honda. Incidentally the Porsches I used to work on had a similar procedure, we would often use after fitting a free flowing exhaust, as the ECU was "self-learning".

 

Disconnected the battery for 10 mins, and then restarted (started a bit rough, then irregular idle, then smooth), waited for the fans to cycle on then off, never touching the throttle. I was draining and refilling the final drive unit while waiting for this procedure to cycle through. Shut it down and all was good! Restarts fine now and seems to run better than ever!

 

Thanks Ghostrider!
