S2R starting issue, help me sort this out pls

[He Man]

there is a hose for the stepper motor that can be kinkced up causing the bike to not start and fail to idle. its feed from the airbox on front left side IIRC.

Dropped it at the shop this weekend.  We'll see what turns up.  The stepper motor was mentioned.  Hopefully if it's just a kinked hose they'll catch that.  Apparently the ECU can be flashed to bypass the stepper motor if need be.  Interesting.

I dont think thats correct. the stepper motor is mechanical. you would have to tell the ECU to forget it AND physically ditch it.

Mechanical yes...if the ecu disregards it what is the necessity to remove it?
