let me start with saying and i know it sucks this bike has sat for about a year and a half while i was deployed. i got back and found the battery stone dead and will not accept a charge. so i got a new one. now the bike cranks instantly but will not fire up. this has been garaged inside for that whole time also. where it was stored gets pretty warm since im in florida but still it was inside and we of course dont get that cold for it to freeze..
so far what ive done:
drain the tank and refill, no go. check all fuses. no go. pulled gas tank the line going to the motor from the fuel pump had gas in it and gas was coming out from the fuel pump. now the other line to the tank was dry as far as i could tell. and the main fuel line while it had gas it didnt pour out of it but my hand and the other stuff got a bit wet in there.
i know spark plugs are a pain in the neck on this thing so i didnt want to touch those yet unless i had to. the bike was bought from someone with only (yes im serious) 16 miles on it. they went down hard on their r1 and the wife took the bikes away since he was in the hospitol for a long time. the bike had been started once a week and just up and down the street since he had it and then i got it from him at a hell of a deal i could not pass on and it did fire right up and run fine when i got it.
only mods are a full titanium muzzy system, pc3, and other misc that would not affect the starting of the bike at least.
since it sat for that long with no power could the pc3 be to blame maybe lost its programing or something? the dealer checked it all before i left and said plugs and all were good and they did a oil change and additive to the tank and ran it back to the house (only a mile or so from the shop).
im sooooooooo short on cash right now and i really cant afford to turn it over to the dealer for a whole lot of $$ to diagnose so im so hoping someone here can help me out.
let me know if there are questions i can answer if that makes it easier. and thank you in advance!!!
