Post by: Islandduc on April 29, 2010, 01:56:02 PM
Greeting's from Cayman peeps
Bike has sat for 3 months. Battry is in good charge. So charger says :-[
Bike cranks over, needles do their little dance across the gauges. Not getting that whirring sound that accompanies the needle dance,
Could be a hole bunch of things I dare say.  Just after some suggestions and any,any help.
Many ,many thanks in advance.

Check the fuse for the fuel pump

thank you Dan.
That would be 20 amp Injection ?
Looks good, don't have meter to check. Fuel down here is cr#p. might have gummed up the pump.

Whirring sound would be the pump priming to pressure ?

Thanks Mr

Did you check your kill switch?

Different models kill the bike differently.

Some use ignition and some use...

fuel. ;)

Kill switch in run. Bike canks over. In off position, no cranking.
Pump not priming. Gas goes like varnish down here. Remove pump it would appear ?

It would take quite a bit of time for gas to gum up a pump. I don't think it could happen in 3 months.

Check the connector under the tank for voltage at the red wire when you cycle the key.

Vroooom Vrooooomm chatter chatter


Pump out, electrical cleaner in the pump. Tap, tap with the hammer handle. Whizzz whizz went the motor.
Back together, cycle key couple of times.
See above.
The gas is soooooooooooo bad here. Will have to clean out tank as you can see a tan line from the gas.
All good and thanks for the help.
Now to put the BST's and all that other stuff sitting in the shed
Enjoy  [thumbsup]
