***Warning**** routine maintenance can ruin your bike..
Joking apart. The bike was running great.....
I was doing some cleaning and general maintenance, I cleaned around the throttle bodies and forgot to attach the temperature sensor that is lurking round the back of TB #1
I started the bike and it was revving its little nuts off.
I quickly spotted my error and connected the cable to the sensor, but then I decided to check the throttle cable at the handlebar, the grease had congealed and was restricting the throttle return, I stripped and cleaned and applied a little new grease.
It was now that I tried to start the bike...No joy..
I have damp plugs with fuel.
I have a spark at the plugs (although does appear weak and possibly intermittent, I checked by holding the plug against the head with insulated pliers in the dark)
I pulled out the injectors still attached to the fuel rail, and turned over the engine, all are squirting fuel.
But it will not fire at all....
!!!!
Jump to the bottom, problem solved!!!
