I changed my starter and then was excited to jump on my bike. I took off and it was low on fuel it just died so I thought that i did the dumb thing and ran out of fuel. but now it turns over but will not start im getting fuel but that is far as i have troubleshooted it. Ihave a manual but it is so backwards when it comes to specifics. I appreciate any thoughts on this.

 

need to no what kind of bike you have

 

Welcome to KF. But yes, abit more specifics on your ride would be nice to know.

 

sorry about that guys
bike is 2003 636R engine B1
problem is after sitting for 2 months I had to replace starter replaced it and it fired up sounded great I hopped on to get fuel it was really low and after it warmed up i took off. In 3 blocks engine stopped. Couldnt get to run again. Engine turns over but will not start. i drained the fuel tank and cleaned out and refilled it. but no change. I also tried to run thru the fault codes but could only find a couple i believe the crankshaft sensor was one of them so i tested for continuity on it and it wasnt within range. so i have checked to see the price yet but i would love it if anyone else had any experience with this problem and could share thier solution with me thanks. keep the shiny side up!

 

by the way I am in no way a bike mechanic so when i was doing the checks for air fuel spark I did the old school way of shooting a dab of ether to the intake but it still didnt start just still turns over so i think it might be the bike down sensor also since that one stops the ignition fuel and everything but hey again if i knew anything I wouldnt be here asking for help. Thanks have a great day guys

 

gonna throw out a stupid question but if your bikes fuel tap has on/reserve and off switch, is it on?

doesnt sound like a battery or stator problem... yet

 

yea it should be if it has one i have never turned it off or on

 

It might be plugged. I would drain the tank again, and pull the switch. Clean out the screen and re-install. That way you can rule out that. Oh and welcome to the forums.

 

I hated to but I was tired of not riding my bike so I finally took it to the shop. I want to thank everyone that took the time out to help me I really appreciate it. It is refreshing finding people that aren't jaded and want to help people out.

thanks again

anthony
