hey guys i have 05 cbr 600 f4i. i was riding home the other night, everything running fine no problems. parked it in garage and this morning when i go to start it nothin. So i figure somehow drained battery or what not. so i give it a jump and it starts fine. but i put it into gear and it just dies. doesnt jump forward like if the clutch was out but it just stops running and dies. and it will ony start up again in neutral?????? i've only been riding a year and am totally clueless what might be the cause. any info help would be extremly helpful. if u guys need more info to diagnose i can provide jus puttin up basics in hopes someone might know. thanks!

 

Did you happen to have the kickstand down?

 

kickstand was up

 

guys also feel free to email with info if anything comes to mind too cause i cant always check the forum. Dustin1084@comcast.net i really appreciate anything that helps

 

Either your kickstand was down, or the switch/sensor that determines the kickstand is down took a dump...that is my best guess.

 

I agree sounds like the kickstand down sensor. I'v enever really looked at it. Maybe it can be adjusted?

 

thanks guys ill look into it and see if thats the problem. appreciate the info

 

hey everybody not sure if anyone still views this thread or not. but i figured out what it was that was keeping my bike from goin anywhere. it was NOT the kickstand sensor as I and many others had believed it to be. Instead it was something even simpler. the ground for the fuel pump is the tank being grounded. somehow where my tank connects to the bike to ground for the pump was loose so everytime i put it in gear and the bike jump a little it lost connection and kill the pump essentially killing the bike.

 

put some washers under the bolt it was using for a ground to ensure nice tight connection and drilled and created back up ground just in case so it doesn't happen again.

 

Hmm...Never heard that one before
