Well it's been about 8 weekends now messing with this F2, and no luck. Me and my neighbor have put in many hours and have thrown quite a few cases of beer at it, but it still won't start.

It's got spark, it's got gas, and it's got air, but it's got no life to it for the moment. Every once in a while it kicks, but it just doesn't get going.

Just figured I'd update... that's all.

Hope everyone is having better luck with theirs and starting to get good riding weather.

Don't know much about these bikes but are the vacuum ports behind the car's on the heads blocked properly? I worked on an older R6 recently that wouldn't start for the dude and first thing I noticed was a couple vacuum caps missing...plugged them and it fired right up.

Who knows.

 

My first time ripping it apart I forgot to hook the vacuum line back to the petcock... took about 30 mins to figure out wtf happend. Now I never forget it lol

 

yeah dude make a check list, run through it and double check. The manual has a pretty good troubleshooting guide

 

I've seen this happen before.

Check your firing order sparky :P

 

1-2-4-3, in case you didn't know

 

You know... that's not a bad idea. I disconnected the plugs once during cleaning, but I thought I made sure I put them back were I found them. But who knows? Maybe so, I hadn't given that a thought!

Good call, let's see!

 

Lemme go take a look. Thanks!

 

#1 cylinder is on the left of the bike when seated on it as well, just in case you didn't know.

Bike fires 1-2-4-3 as i mentioned earlier. Cylinders 1 & 4 should be connected to the coil on the right side of the bike, and that coil should be plugged into the connector that has a Yellow wire with a blue stripe in it. The coil for 2&3 has the connector with the Blue wire with the yellow stripe.

 

Post up man, I'm waiting for you to tell me that i'm right
