No codes.

It feels like every time we fix one issue, another one comes right around the corner.

- April 29, 2025, 05:02:28 AMGood news, we have spark but now no fuel spray.
Does anyone have a vaccuum hose diagram? Of so, please post it here.
Thanks!

Map sensor vaccuum wasn't hooked up at all, got all new vaccuum lining and that fixed the fuel problem for the most part.
Now, I no longer have any spark. This is bizzare. Went from having strong consistent spark to none.
Will add, anytime I apply slight throttle while cranking it, the starter relay will click.
Anyone have any new ideas?

Stuck injectors spray fuel as soon as they have pressure applied to them Injector pulse width is controlled by the fuel map in the ecm, and the cell addresses vary by the coolant temperature reading.
Makes me think it has to do with my throttle position sensor... I'll test that according to manual specs

- April 18, 2025, 00:04:06 AMUpdate: still figuring out the injector issue.
They do not appear to be leaky or stuck open, but when I try to start the bike they fire an unreasonable amount of gas. And there is a lot of pressure in the return line to the tank, could it be the pressure regulator?

Now, everytime I try and start it it'll gunshot or pop but won't full on start. I can see fuel mist leaving the pipes.
Plugs end up dripping wet, what do I do now?
Maybe my injectors are stuck open? Sure seems like it

Only in the past, and it was the fuel pump which I ended up replacing.

Good thought, but I have my buddy holding up the bike and pulling in clutch and holding the start button for me. I'm definitely making contact so that isn't it.
Such a weird issue.

It makes me think something is telling the ECU "hey, shut off spark."

The plugs don't fire from coil to ground, rather the complete fire path is from : coil > wire > plug 1 > motor > plug2 > wire > coil (the same coil) - interrupt any part of that path and neither plug fires.
If you have both plugs out, you need to connect them somehow in order for them to complete the circuit and spark.
