I searched.  I found.  I read.  I still have questions.

Bike.  New-to-me 2000 VFR (US) with 11K miles, new battery.

Symptom:  A couple times now I've 1) turned the ignition key on, 2) FI light comes on with other lights, 3) FI light doesn't go off and don't hear fuel being primed, 4) Hit the ignition and NOTHING.  No clicks, no attempts to start - Nada. 5) check kill switch, turn off ignition and repeat 1 and 2, 6) FI light goes off, fuel primed, 7) hit ignition, all is well, ride off bewildered but relieved.

Should I be concerned?  What is this warning me of?  
What should I do to stop this gremlin and/or prevent associated ones?
