cangy1000 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 First thing I did was take the kill switch off, nothing...not even a pop. There's no spark at the plug. Tried new plug and cleaning earth and connections on coil...nothing. I had done one lap of sections, refilled fuel, couple more sections completed. then stopped to walk a section and would not start...not a pop. Not found anything on a search, I guess they usually don't go wrong much. Is there anything that commonly goes wrong wrong on older bikes? mine is the first 05 model.

lineaway Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Usually the problem is a new owner. What have you done to it? Turn the idle up and try it again. Edited October 26, 2020 by lineaway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Low idle is a common issue, needs to be 1800... The bank angle sensor can fail on them, find it and bypass the two outside wires with a jumper to test. the throttle stop can ware a bit or get tweaked and the position can read as a negative value instead of 0, or near 0. the fuel pump or fan can stop working and cause the ECU to not let it spark (can test both with a 12v battery) that's a good first stab list... good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cangy1000 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Ive looped out the bank angle sensor, fuel pump and fan is running ok. I guess I need to read up on the throttle stop, sure I've come across a thread on hear on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen on my 07 4RT when I was having some strange issues the ECU will cut the spark when kicking it on things like full throttle (or to much throttle) and a negative value. Guessing its a safety thing, wouldn't want a bike to start up from 0 and instantly rev its head off or something else strange.
