Ok so ive just changed the stock exhaust to a slip on and the this is the story- Well after many hours of fitting it i took it for a spin and found it to be real jerky and riding shite so talked to friends and blogs etc and i have a power commander on the way all good? Well ive started the bike just to keep the battery ok etc the other day and it held 1000 revs than after a while it started stuggling so turned it off the tried the restart and wouldn tick over, so today i tried to start it and would on the fisrt start only with revs so tried again and wont start?? so makes me think is it a fuel problem have i done something wrong when resembling? the only things i touched where lifted fuel tank and idle speed, off work tomo so will be able to have a better look have anyone any ideas???
Sounds like you've kinked the fuel pipe! Easy done, also check the drain while your in there or it will fill with water..
NICE ONE! did notice some water coming out of the drain pipe what do i need to do? check of kinks unplug the drain pipe?? would you disconnect all the pipes?
Fuel line is connected with two BIG banjo bolts but it's poss to squash the line when the tank is lowered, the drain always gets kinked if not pulled back into place, I disconnect it half way down then route the part that goes to the tank then reconnect once tanks back down, check your fuel line first but thats my guess...
Ditto to kinked hose, been there done that!!! Before you shell out for a PC3 do the flapper mod, it made a big difference on my rr5
just had an hour on this lifted the tank lined the hoses and unplug the air flow hose half way down tried to start it nearly got it but nothing again now what would be you tips to start it up roll on and off the thottle how long? before it could flood? leave it ten minutes and try again??
No throttle, can you hear fuel pump run? If not check plug is ok, if you wind if over just a sniff of throttle, I have seen RR7's flood up so yes its poss! Note: dont forget RR's often wind over with the kill swith in OFF....lol
fuel pump ingages when turning the key kill switch is off, ok no thottle just short blasts with the ingintion switch?
Yeah a good wind, dont cook the starter but do try and start it, Id have though over night it would have settled down.
My battery is a bit crap like that, a few attempted starts without the bike firing into life and I recon mine would be almost flat too!
not now, got a little bit of a start like a bit out the exhaust like i thought i was there on the first try
Ok, well I just re-read the problem post (1) in case I missed something... I see no reason why other than the batt was low/flat and it was not cranking fast enough for it to now not start, power to the fuel pump, ecu and other electronics is purely provided by the battery the only power the stator/gen provides is charging to the battery so thats why RRs don't start or run with faulty or low battery's, unlike some bikes where ignition power is provided from separate windings in the generator. I think the bike is flooded and for some reason is not clearing, whens the last time you checked the air filter? If you still cant get it fired up I hate to say it but you will need to remove the plugs and dry them, sometimes helps to wind the motor with the plugs out! Maybe at the same time you could fit the PC? Only problem with that is adding another load of electronics before the bike runs again could give you more to fault find!
just checked ail filters where dirty give them the best clean i could still no joy didn look at the spark plugs as i havn got the right tool plus my brain is fried! thanks anyway i just dont understand it
These things are sent to try you mate! If you were near by Id come over and look at it for you.. Hard to give advice from where I am sat but will always try and help if I can..
