to start off, i took my bike to the shop because of running problems and it ended up being so bad that it had trouble starting. I called the shop and the guy said he had never seen anything like it, there are sparks shooting from under the tank. he said he re-grounded everything and it still did it! anybody seen anything like this or have any idea what could be wrong? it is a honda dealer btw so i figured they know what they are doing, i know i know, they dont all, but i had to take the chance b/c i couldnt figure it out

 

maybe a bare wire around the fuel pump

 

When does it spark? when you turn the key to on? or when you hit the start button?

Im horrible with wiring, but for those that arent.. is it possible something fried and is reversing polarity to a ground (sending power through a ground)

maybe disconect some one by one and see if it still does it...

 

yea.. i was kinda thinking it may be a bare wire or a short or something.. its starting to **** me off, i cant figure it out! and it does it when you I hit the start button...

 

If it only does it when you hit the starter i would start at the ignition switch and trace wire back inspecting them along the way.

 

just info in case anybody is interested, it ended up being a bad ground! I got it back today, they said they chased all the electricity back to a ground to the frame and all of the electricity was running straight back through the wiring harness! re grounded it and its fixed!

 

sweet deal...Good thing it was nothing major
