Did you also try to drain a float bowl to make sure the fuel is getting into the carbs? Perhaps there is a blockage somewhere?

Sounds like something small now. One problem is fixed right? The battery doesn't immediately die on you.

It's very odd considering your first post stated that you had the bike going just fine.

No carbs its fuel injected . Yes I fixed the small problem ( the battery) but why would fuel be running but not making it to the spark plugs ? My next guess is ecm not telling the injectors to open ?

I have no idea now

I would swap yours with a known, working ecu and at least rule it out.

Hi. Did you charge the new battery up before you installed it on your bike? I know it sounds daft, but it is best to charge it or at least check the voltage even though it is new. Might just be worth an overnight charge on a low rate?
