So I went to take the 01 f4i for a ride today and ran into a problem. It started up but was runnin horribly. Finally it just died and I realized there was no gas in it, duh. Anyway I put some gas in it and now all it does is crank over and over with no signs of starting. The pump is priming. I'm thinking maybe I fouled the plugs somehow? I will wait and try it again tomorrow. Until then i was curious to see if anyone else had any suggestions for what it could be.

 

Sounds very possible that you fouled them, where do you live, how cold out was it?

 

I live in Nebraska. It was about 45 out.

 

Bikes dont like the cold very much, i would start with pulling the plugs and see how they look.

 

That's just what I'm trying to avoid. I JUST put the damn thing back together after taking it apart for a third time. I'm sure thats what i'll end up doing though. Thanks for the advice.
