I bought a f4i off a friend. It had been down and sat ever since 2004 in his basement. I started working on it about 2 weeks ago. The tank was full when I got it with old gas. I cleaned it out and I think because there was a lot of gas in there that it didn't evaporate or turn to varnish. Anyway, I put a new battery in it and cleaned out the fuel lines. I cleaned the plugs, put fresh oil and coolant in it. Then I put some fresh gas in it and tried to start it. The gauges worked fine. They did the regular warm up routine with the tack moving and all that. The motor turned over freely when I hit the starter button but it didn't start. It didn't even attempt to fire. Also, I didn't hear the fuel pump priming. I checked all the fuses and they are good. Well, I checked the ones next to the battery. I don't know if there are any more elsewhere. So, I need some help. My first thoughts are to check the lean angle sensor and fuel pump relay. I don't know where either of these are on the bike though. I don't have a manual. I'd appreciate a link to one if anyone's got it.

Thanks!

 

No worries! I just realized that the lean angle sensor is in between the headlights and I didn't have them hooked up. I plugged in the headlight and voila! She fired up.

Now I've got a new problem..... It's leaking oil onto the exhaust collector. I can't find exactly where it's coming from. I guess that's tomorrows challenge.
