A strange thing happened today. (Short version)
I have never had any problems starting the engine before, but today it happened!
I could hear the pump humming and the engine turned just fine, but there was no ignition. Battery was fine, at least for a while, but eventually I had to use jumper cables. It still wouldnt start.
Took the seat off and looked around, checked fuses and so on, and then the fallsensor got all of my attention. My guess is that it should sound like a rattle when moved around, but it sounded like if there was more than one thing moving around in there, so I figured it might be broken.
I tried starting with the sensor disconnected but it wouldnt start. The text "no start" appears after a few secs.
I then bridged the connector on the harness. When attempting to start I did get spark, and the engine sort of started for a second or two. After that I didnt get any more ignition!
By now the smell of gasoline is pretty evident that the engine is soaked, so I leave the bike for half an hour or so, to let it dry out.
Tried to start- no luck "no start"
Removed my previously installed bridge, and now the thing starts!. But now the text "EFI" starts flashing after some seconds!
I now reconnect the fallsensor, and the engine starts and run just fine! Everything works perfect!
What the heck was the problem today ?:dunno
