Cold Start the F800

Cold Start the 1996 F800 on a 23 Degree (Fahrenheit) morning. The check valve from the tank to the injector pump leaks down if I leave it for a while so I had to prime it.

What did you do to prime it? Also, is there a reason the bed is slightly lifted?

Thanks!

@1toomanyhobbies To prime it there is a plunger on the fuel pump that you have to press a couple times to draw fuel up to it. It will leak down occasionally. And I park it with the bed slightly up just so water won't sit in it.
