The bike, originally, was intermittently not starting. Then, after one instance, the bike shut down mid corner (same day).
1. I checked starter solenoid, fuel cut solenoid, per the manual with my DM--apply 12V across two contacts--get beep across the others with my DMM (set in diode check)manual says I should see continuity and I do.
2. fuses (FI, bank angle, lights, fan, main et al).
3. Fuel tank/fuel pump plug had voltage to it and stopped when fuel cut switch fires.
4. No spark at spark plugs but I have 12VDC at all the coils.
5. Turn on bike, NO fuel pump cycling, neutral light and FI light on. after a few seconds Fuel cut relay starts clicking twice a second or so, hit starter , no joy.
6. IF I unplug the Fuel pump, neutral light on, FI light lights for a few sec and turns off (hear fuel cut relay click), hit starter, no joy.
7. checked bank angle sensor (checks OK).
8. Friend sent me a fuel pump assy...put it in and No joy, same as usual.
Friend, Mapmaster, says to check all my ground leads (starting with Fuel Pump and cycling with Fuel cut soleniod, Engine stop solenoid and bank angle sensor for intermittent ground or high resistance (higher than an ohm or two).
9. I decide to pull the solenoids and re-check the grounds (look good low ohms) and decide to re-test them with power to the solenoids (not just the grounds).
put 12V across a spare solenoid and closed contact resistance is 0.6ohm. Pull Fuel Cut Relay, apply 12V to fuel cut relay solenoid and measure contacts 0.5ohm. Pull Engine Stop Relay, apply 12V to relay, measure across contacts -- 10 ohms! it's ONLY 10 ohms...a pittance of resistance in the ignition/run circuit...
10. Swap out known good relay (0.5ohm) for suspect Engine Stop relay...turn on ignition, neutral light, fuel pump cycles, shuts off, hit starter, bike starts!
11. THROW BAD RELAY in TRASH. Shut bike off, start again!
The manual does NOT say to measure the ohms of the relay--JUST look for "continuity"...so thanks MapMaster for asking me to look at ground for high resistance...or I wouldn't have thought of looking at the resistance of the close poles on the relays!
