04 R1 with Power Commander 3
Alright, the other day I picked up a 2004 R1. Among quite a few other things, the bike has a Power Commander 3 programmer. I was riding it yesterday and I heard a weird noise; kinda like a something grinding or shattering. As I came up to a light and had to stop, the bike bogged way down; it was idling right at 1000 rpm. As I accelerated, the bike sounded like it was about to die until it finally jumped up into the rpms and accelerated. The second time I stopped the idle was right at 900 rpm...I have no idea how it didn't die. As I accelerated again it sounded like I was flooding the engine; I was bogging it down really bad. Then between 2nd and 3rd gear the bike just died. I was able to roll into a parking lot luckily...but yeah the bike just died. When I tried to start it again it just would not turn over..at all. The gauges and the lights were on, so I know the battery was good. I had plenty of gas in the tank. I put the bike in gear and rocked the bike back and fourth, so I know the engine wasn't locked up. All I could assume was that it may have something to do with the Power Comm. So I dropped the tank and unplugged all the wires that came from the Power Comm. After reconnecting the tank I tried to start the bike and I had nothing...the starter tries to crank for all of maybe 1/4 of a second and then I have nothing. Then I plugged everything back in and tried to start the bike again...nothing. Then I plugged the Pow. Comm. into my computer and put the zero map on it...tried to start it...still nothing. So basically I now know that the problem is not the programmer, it is something else. Does anyone know what else might be causing my bike not to start?
