just been out again to give it another blast no joy lights come on hear the fuel pump engage but wont spark , i did smell fuel when i took the air filter cover off earlier, trying to think the last time it was running it did cough and splutter before dying hasn started since
il go and take all fairing off tomo go through the plugs, trying to think any other info i can give, turn key dash comes on fuel pump engages red light goes out then comes back on then turn key nothing, fuel was running rich too
Well it's unusual IMO that a late RR will not fire up, I hate to suggest old school methods with new bikes but I think you are going to have to remove the plugs, you can hook them up and observe a spark for peace of mind, while winding over the motor should clear, take note that sensors etc etcnwill need to be hooked up or you will se a number of FI error codes.
yeah i was gonna do that too, but only have the tool from the honda tool kit will this be ok? also is it easy to do??
May be best to get someone round too have a look mate, it's not difficult but for the sake of paying someone a few quid too gave a look you could save yourself cash in the long run as messing with stuff your not to sure about can get pricey!
It's easy mate just takes time to do, find a spot in the shade, cup of tea, and mill on with it... I hope you get it sorted, sorry I've not been much help...
Just a thought this all started after your exhaust, did you manage to sort your servo wires in the end? Arthur could a problem with the servo cause problems described?
Ok so felt confident on the spark plugs got the haynes out and took all fairing off as i checked the plugs etc making sure i hadnt knock anything. So everything was going fine got the injectors off air filter housing started on the funnel screws about the third on in and BAMM!! BLOODY CHEAP CRAPPY PLASTIC LIKE SCREW ROUNDED!!!!!! totally gutted now im in a world of shit... got two batterys and a power commander and what can i say..is put it back together with the missus on my back about you and them bloody bikes na na na... can i cry?? looks like my broke ass is gonna have to call on the garage, what im i looking at expense wise?
1.Connect up a decent battery or make sure yours is fully charged. 2.Make sure Kill switch is in the right place 3.Un-plug the N/s headlamp from the bulb (saves battery power when cranking over) 4.With the ign off..........hold throttle wide open then switch ign on and keep throttle wide open. 5.Spin engine over to the count of 10. 6.Release throttle ,switch ign off and then on and then start bike as usual. At full throttle when cranking the primary and secondary injectors wont fuel thus clearing the bores when you spin it over. As members have said.........if it dont spin over fast enough and have a good battery then she,ll flood up.
Ok fella.............normaly works .I cant help wondering if theres something not quite plugged in since your tinkering and not wanting to appear condensending but you might not have the skill level to get her running.I think you need to first off determine if she has a good blue spark at the plugs,if this is the case then there is no other option but to remove the plugs n clear the bores of un-burnt fuel.Once this is done and the engine is running you might then be able to assertain the reason of why she failed in the first place.In the long run it might be better to get a "Guy that can" in to get her running and give you a indication to the root cause of the fault.
looks like the only way, i am very careful with stuff when removing parts i had trouble with the servo wires cause the stock exhaust was in a bad state as all the bolts where fused together, the spark plug situation was going fine till the screw rounded and i didn want to make it worse so i put every thing back together and i take photos of parts wires routing etc, the thing is the bike was running ok the fuel was rich but once warm seemed ok, now one morning i started it and then cut it off which i hear is a bad thing to do on the RR'S i saw on one of the american websites and as it can shot the plugs?
