Hey guys, this is my first post so hopefully you guys can help.

I have a 2002 F4i with 60,000km which I got a year ago and has been great with only minor issues. My problem is this; when I start my bike, its turns over and runs when I press the start button, but when I release the start button, the engine dies.

When I turn the ignition switch to "ON" all the lights come on for a couple seconds, which is normal, but the turn signal lights stay on but are not flashing, which is not normal. When I flip the engine stop switch to "RUN" the FI light does not come on anymore and I cannot hear the fuel pump prime. I've check the fuses in the fuse box and they were all fine. Is there any other fuses I should check?

The weirdest part is that my bike runs for as long as I hold the start button down and I can ride it with the button held but the moment I let it go, the engine dies.

Any suggestions?

 

Check your wiring, especially the front wire harness. I could be wrong, but theres two identical gray (rectangle) connectors, you could have possibly switched, I did it before and made my lights act all funny and stuff

 

Had the same problem the ground was bad in the plug where the headlight harness plugs into the main harness i beleive it is the green wire. I just cut the wire on each side of the plug and sodered an new wire in to connect them and havent had a problem since. Good luck let me know im interested if its the same thing as my bike
