so everytime you start up the bike there is this "whirring" noise for a second or two, what is that? am I not supposed to start the bike until it stops?

another thing, I only got 1 key with the bike. What type of key blank do i need? should I just call a dealer and ask?

one more thing, is there any point in getting sliders? to protect the upper?

The dealer should be able to make you a copy!

It's fuel injected, right? Let the pump prime, yes.

Go to the dealer, they should take care of the key.

They are called FRAME sliders for a reason... to protect the frame. Though, you will get conflicting opinions on them and whether anyone should have them or not. Personally, I don't care for them and wouldn't ever put them on my bikes - well, not the long straight ones... only the smaller mushroomed ones that go under the plastics that are designed to save the hard parts.

Electronics check and fuel pump priming. Let it finish. I've heard talk of bikes running rough and/or gauges acting up otherwise.

The whirring is the fuel pump... you don't have to wait for it, but i generally give it a second before I hit the starter.

As for the key, any lock shop can cut you another one. Cost me $3 for a new one.

okay usually I'm not in a rush to get the bike started so I will wait but just wanted to make sure.

I'm thinking the dealer's gonna charge me way more than a locksmith.
