P500 Need help with throttle issue

[Jkentj]

Having a throttle issue during first couple rides with my new-to-me 2015 P5. It seems the throttle is very sensitive and if I don't just tickle it to get the machine started it wants to die. Once underway it seems to do fine, but if I jab the throttle it will die most every time. Air temp mid 30's. As engine got warmer it seemed to do s little better. Any ideas?

What gear are you starting from low or 2nd ?

Has it always been this way or is it getting worse?

Chek the air filter and fuel filter and for water in the fuel tank.

Same symptoms in either gear.

Only used it on one ride so far. Pretty consistent all day. Duplicated same symptoms today at home.

Checked the air filter and it was fine. Fuel system next.

So last night I siphoned out as much of the fuel as I could get, and re-filled with fresh gas and some fuel treatment to remove water. After about 10 min of riding the problem cleared up and it is running well. The dealer filled the tank before I left with it the other day so there must have been water or something in that fuel.

Glad to hear you worked that out Jkentj.
Not everyone will chime in on these posts due to not having a solution or advice for you but you can believe they're watching it.

Glad you got it fixed and thanks for keeping us in the loop on the fix.
