In the last month we've replaced the HID lights, the stator cover, drained and refilled the oil. Bike turns over but will not start, I've checked all the wires and as far as I can see everything is the way that it was a month ago when the bike ran fine. What could be causing this?

 

Wouldn't the obvious thing be to check the battery????? There has been like 10 posts in the last week similar to this.

 

Do you have spark? Is the fuel pump priming? Have you tried charging the battery? Does the bike turn over easily or does it struggle? Good places to start.

 

I assumed that it was obvious enough that I had checked the battery that it was unnecessary for me to include that. Thanks, though.

How do you test and see if you have spark? The fuel is priming, the battery is plugged up to a charger, turns over easily.

Thanks for any help given, guys

 

Remove one plug at a time and ground it against the engine head (hold it against head but dont push too hard cause then you will mess up the gap) and have someone crank the bike over. Be sure to keep it grounded against the head the whole time the bike is cranking to prevent damage to the electrical system. Also yu wont get a spark if its not grounded. You should get a ncie healthy bright spark. If not then id start with simply cleaning the plugs.

 

Okay, I will try this. Thanks a lot! I'll keep you guys posted as to if I get it working heh

Sorry if I was smart in my reply to the first comment, it's been a long day

 

It's cool bro. I missed the part where you said the battery was reading 12v with the lights on in your original post.

 

Is the tip over sensor bypassed? It's been awhile since Ive been around so im a little hazy but there's also a wire in the headlight harness that prevents the bike from running if the headlights not hooked up. I bypassed it as do most stunters. If it were getting bad contact or the HID's didnt use the original harness, it could cause this. Just throwing that out there.

 

Since his fuel pump is priming this eliminates the possibility that the tip over sensor is the problem. The fuel pump would not prime if it were the tip sensor.

 

your right and that also eliminates the headlight. I just re-read your post. Why did you change the stator cover? did you get the wires hooked up correctly. I'm thinking your pulse sensor isnt hooked up so therefore the bike doesnt know when to fire.
