I have been screwing around with this 2003 R1 INJ. bike for around a year and love riding it, but about 6 months ago I dropped it and soon after had back surgery. Prior to going under the knife I tried getting her ready to put back together but I wanted to hear her run before I put all the pretty pieces back on. So this is where the issue's started, I can get her to crank up but she only will idle at 1000 rpm's for maybe 10 seconds and then dies. I thought that it was a fueling problem, but the fuel pump acts correctly and will spit fuel all over the floor. I have dug all the way down to the plugs just to make sure they were firing and they looked fine to me (good spark) so I buttoned her back up making sure everything was where it was supposed to be. I then pulled the cover for the pickup to make sure all was good, and it seemed fine. I have read so many threads on here about this problem and I find it hard to believe that no one has an answer for this. Are these bikes prone to pressure reg problems?, that seems like it is such a simple piece that I would be wasting time and money screwing with it. I
I did read someone saying that if the bike ran by shooting starting fluid down the injectors then there is probably a clog. OK best thing I read so far that makes any sense, so where might I start looking for that? and it doesn't make sense to me that an injector would screw up due to the bike going down? please help if you have any input, I love riding and I just don't feel I need to take it to the stealership with all the knowledge that can be found online, especially here.
By the way I have done the diag. and everything looks good, and it is not throwing any codes....UUUGGHH!
Thanks in advance
