scratcher Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hi guys n Happy new year.. 4 Ride...i had a fall the other day bike went down in a stream..theres no water in the air box. Plugs sparking ok. But will only start on easy start thru the airbox...fur a few seconds. Im thinking its a fuel issue...any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyc21 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Did you make sure there wasn’t any water in the fuel? Might also try bypassing the bank angel sensor... might be shorted and if so wouldn’t let it start and stay running. Guessing you already tried the full throttle kickstart twice rest. Good luck.

scratcher Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Yea tried the reset. N ye think the bank sensor could be at fault..its started only fur a few seconds. But in reality i was using body spray not easy start..i will get some EASY START tomoro n give it a go..if i can get it to keep goin n keep sprayin it, it may pull the fuel thru n run on its own. I was thinkin it may have got a bit o water in the fuel some way but a doubt it..tank never went under.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Bank sensor will stop the bike if it’s tripped but I admit I don’t know if it stops the fuel or spark. If fuel then it could be the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
