Looks like my starting issues were bad gas or water in my gas. It has been starting better and better in the cold weather. I took it in also, and it does have the latest ECU map. It even started for the dealer at -6 F. Hopefully it is good to go.

We are in VT and I have found that if you actuate the throttle 3 times while the FI is cycling, that it starts well down to 5-10F.  Lower than that it starts then quits and I just hit the throttle a few more times.  Starts up and stays running.  Also at the first oil change or sooner we replace with 0w-40 Syn.    This seems to help on the 400-500 and 1000.   800s have been starting well.
