Ok…dumb, dumb, DUMB, I am… Figured I’d start checking some electricals this morning. Upon removing the tank, fuel pump connector, and while removing the fuel line, the gasoline that leaked out of the fuel line, onto the top of the valve cover, was a nice gasoline/H2O mixture! 😳😂. While I had the tank off though, I checked connections and several...

Thank you Lodewijk. I will check those things hopefully in the next few days. I appreciate the input. I sided towards electrical because I feel like the holeshot light on the bars was supposed to stay illuminated, and definitely illuminate long before 10 kicks. I’ll definitely check all things mentioned and give an update. I’m just starting to diagnose, and...

Hi everyone. I bought this bike not running. After fixing all the internal mechanical issues, the engine will start and run for about 10-15 seconds, will take throttle, sounds great, then just dies, like you’re pushing the kill switch. It takes about 10 kicks to get the holeshot light on the handlebars to light, then it goes out right away...

Hello! I’m posting an update, incase this thread helps anyone. So I found that when I finally got the engine started it had rough idle and when you gave it throttle, the idle would hang like it had an intake leak, or the butterfly wasn’t going entirely closed. It was also fouling plugs and smelled like gas after the engine...
Here’s a list of what was replaced or replaced from a running bike: wiring harness, kill switch assy, injector, fuel pump, map sensor, coolant temp sensor, throttle position sensor (not replaced, but checked, set to spec), stator, condenser, fast idle adjuster, ECU, intake air temp sensor, spark plug, coil, flywheel and key, intake flange. (Kick start pedal because I’ve worn...
I did. The valves are spot on. I’ve even set them on the high side of the specs. Also just put a new camshaft in it because the gear had spun just enough to throw the valve timing off. I’ve really done everything I can think of. I’ve even sprayed around the airbox and intake boot with carb cleaner to...
Hi everyone. I can prime the intake with a spray bottle, and get the bike started, but you have to keep the bike running. It won’t idle. When it quits, you have to prime it again. It’s got a new fuel pump, new injector, new intake flange and clamps. It’s got pretty much new everything. New map sensor, intake air...
