    Bike was running great. Sat for a couple months now will not start rolls over but doesn't even try. Spray starting fluid in throttle body and starts immediately and runs great till it burns off. You can hear fuel pump turn on. Disconnected fuel line from regulator and fuel comes out hose. Anyone know of this issue thnx

    You said that the fuel pump comes on. Does it shut down like it has reached full pressure? Or does the pump continue to run?

    Did you treat the gas with some type of winterizer when you stored it? How much gas was in the tank over the winter?

    Do you smell gas when you crank the engine? If not, you may not be getting enough fuel, and it could be the wax unit. Or plugged injectors (hard to believe all four would plug up, but possible).

    How long have you owned this bike? Any more background that you can share with us may help.

    Owned the bike 8 years. has 79,000 miles put 50,000 on it my self. New timing chain and tensioners and all less than 5 miles ago. Very well maintained. Pump turns on cycles like normal. Did have gas storage treatment "Wynn's" when sat. Drained gas put fresh in about a gallon or so.

    After you attempt to stat the bike, with the key still on, is the FI light blinking? If so how many blinks?
