Hey all, I'm new here and joined because I'm having a weird issue I can't figure out.
Long story short...I went out riding, filled up my tank and rode for the day with no issue at all. Got home and parked the bike. The very next day, maybe 12 hours later, I went out to ride and the bike wouldn't start. It literally just sat there over night. It appears to be fueling, but I'm not sure. It cranks over strong, but just won't fire. If i twist the throttle a bit while trying to start it, it chugs to life and will run as long as I'm holding the throttle, but if I let go and let it idle, it just dies out. The fuel pump primes and sounds strong, all fuses are good. I swapped out the fuel thinking it was bad, i kept trying to run it to get the old fuel out of the lines, and after a few start ups, while holding the throttle open to get it started, it seemed to even out and idle fine. i turned it off and back on again like 5 times and it started up and idled fine. So i concluded i just had bad fuel. I shut it off and the next day I came out to ride it. I started it and it idled normal, went for a test ride and it ran extremely BAD. it broke up/misfired, wouldn't really go past like 4-5k rpm and hesitated and just ran like complete crap. I brought it back and parked it, and after all those successful start ups, I'm right back where I was. cranks strong, but won't start unless i give it alot of throttle.
I tried disconnecting my PC3 and run the factory tune and same issue. I have not checked my spark plugs yet or replaced them, but how could they cause an issue sitting over night?
Any other ideas? One thing I'm gonna try when it stops raining is bypassing my BAS switch to see if that does anything. I really dont think it's the spark plugs, but besides them, does anyone have any other ideas??
