| Can you bump start like this? or just remove spark plug and go from there.
The pump is working I hear it, I also tried the full throttle start, that kind of make a sound that it would run but no.
battery is full, I even used a jumper to make sure.
Thanks! | |

| Take the plug out and let it dry, if it's convenient to do. The FI system keeps pumping fuel in, making it hard to start in some situations. I don't know how to get around that otherwise without chancing killing the battery. | |

| I wonder if I can also remove the Fuel pump/Injection fuse and headlight fuse until I get it running.
that way it wont keep pumping gas.
how long can you keep the started pinned to try to get it to start?
if that don't work then I will try the bump start I just don't have a big hill near by. | |

| If you remove the FI fuse it won't run. Hold the throttle wide open and don't close it and leave ignition on. Spin the motor for a few seconds at a time then wait 10 seconds to allow battery to settle then spin again. Should hear it attempt to start. Keep throttle open & key on but make sure battery is still strong. Persevere. It will start to chug then start. Worked for me. | |

Is there anyway to stop the prime process, as every time I try to start it just would add more and more fuel to the chamber if I am not mistaken. I did that a few times, throttle wide open ignition on, and pin the starter sometimes it does sound like a small pop that it would run. but after I let go of the started I hear the fuel pump so I don't know if it keep pumping more fuel on the chamber. that why I asked if removing the FI fuse would work. would the spark still keep electricity and start with what ever fuel is in the chamber? Thanks. | |

| Try removing the air filter to allow more air in. Drain the tank / disconnecting the fuel supply line, will prevent priming. | |

Drain the tank / disconnecting the fuel supply line, will prevent priming. good suggestions, I will do that let see how much gas I can remove from the tank. Let see if I can figure out the fuel supply line, I suppose the big line right under the fuel tank. Would I have to remove the fuel tank for that? | |

| You don't have to remove but you do have to unbolt tank & lift. It will then be connected by the fuel lines and the pump electrical connector. All are quick connections. I disconnect the fuel line at the bottom junction. I don't know for sure but I suspect both the tank connection and the bottom connection are dry break. | |

| I think youre overcomplicating it. Throttle wide open, and crank. This will start just about any flooded bike.
Are you sure it flooded, and not something else? | |

| Has this been resolved? I don't know if a fuel injected motor can be flooded in the traditional sense
Ive stalled under load before but never had it been too difficult to restart | |

| not solved yet.
I am not 100% sure is a flooded issue, I figure since the fuel pump keep priming every time I crank the starter it got flooded.
I just removed the spark plug. Don't look to clean, I be installing a new one. it had the iridium one.
I think it might also be a electrical problem, sometimes the headlight does not turn on, but after a few tries with the starter the light come on. The battery is fully charged, I even connected external jumper but bike did not start.
Thanks.
today it was sounding way better, but still was not able to stay running. | |

| follow up,
So after I tried almost everything I could do, I gave up took it to a shop and it was determine the pump was not working. after they replaced it now it running again.
all the reading suggested that the pump gave you a sign of not starting once it was hot, but the bike was super cold. and I could hear the pump priming. that why I never even considered the pump. | |

| You could hear pump running but they claim pump not 'working'. That's a little strange. Anyway, glad to hear you're back up & running. Thanks for closing. | |
