Default Rough Idle

Hi Guys,

Having had the Fez for a few weeks now, I have a list of little things for the dealer to fix when i take it back for the 3,000kms check... but has anyone had problems with rough idle on the first start up of the day?
Because it's been warm here, it hasn't really been a problem, but on the weekend and also this morning , I turn the key and think that Massey Fergusson has stolen my engine and replaced it with one of their tractor ones...... I'm talking so rough the things cuts out, and if i was in my 1960's datto, would expect the thing to backfire. Second start up is fine.
The last 3 days it's been 13-15 degrees (according to dash), so figure it's a cooler weather thing.
Ironically whilst typing this the cust service person from the dealer rang, and whilst they are very polite, clearly doesn't have motor knowledge and told me "I'm sure it will be fine."


Has anyone else had this happen? I must admit, haven't checked leads etc (but if 2nd start up is fine it wouldn't be a dodgy lead) but didn't think I needed to at this early stage... have also re-fuelled at a different place today so will see if it was fuel as well.........

Cheers,

Kind of makes you proud to be an aussie.
