I know you guys in the US might not know what i'm talking about as you don't seem to have this pain in the butt built in immobiliser, but here goes to everyone else.. My 2004 r1 has developed a fault in that it wont start... If you put the key in and turn to the on position the tacho gauge sweeps up to the max and back down to zero, temperature shows as hi, and the immobiliser light flashes 5 times slowly then 4 times quickly. There is no noise from the fuel pump. If you hit the starter, the starter motor turns but the engine wo'nt start. I just removed my alarm ( a yamaha plug in ) and power commander from the bike, however everything looks ok..... an ideas....

I know this is old but............. This has just happend to my R1.( 04 Model) Exactly as described in the first post. Working fine one day then the next, no go! Checked all fuses and as many block connectors that I can get my grubby hands on, all appear fine. I think it could be the alarm system as when arming and disarming it the idicators do not flash like they used to and im sure the fuel pump is not priming. Before I bend over and get greased by the dealer, anyone out there have anything similar happen to their R1? Any help would be great.:nopity:

Problem sorted. As I suspected, water in the loom/connectors.
