2007 Suzuki 1250 Bandit cold start idle issue.

I haven't been on here for a while but just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or even heard of it or what could be causing it.It happens on first cold start up but is worse in warm weather,sometimes on first start up it will find a really low idle and will never correct itself until shut off and re- started and sometimes it works on first start up,the bike runs great and always has but this is annoying and i'm not sure what is really causing this the computer or something simple,not sure what would control first start idle,something with temperature i'm sure,thanks to anyone who could help with this,I still love this bike and ride it everyday.

Have you tried the idle speed controller cleanup? It gets carbonized and can get bit sticky if you have not cleaned it for long time. You need to do it ignition off the whole time.. It is located on the right side of the bike on the throttle bodies. Might not help you but is worth the try. I clean mine annually.

Thank's a lot,that's probably what it is it makes sense because once in a while it will also idle a little high and I have about 33,000 miles on it and have never cleaned it,ill try that immediately.

Thanks a million for the help,there's no doubt in my mind that was the problem it was pretty gummed up.Been riding the bike all day and no signs of the problem anymore because it's pretty warm here today about 105 and it was really doing it in the heat,and it acts completely different on start up,jumps right to where it's supposed to with no hesitation.I should have figured this out because I had the same problem with my Ford pickup and this was the problem,for some reason I didn't think my bike had one of these.
