    BIKE WILL NOT START

    I just replaced the thermostat, removed the PAIR junk, changed oil and cleaned K&N Air Filter.

    What could I have screwed up on putting the throttle bodies back on?

    Fuel pump runs (fi light on while running) for a second as normal, she turns over smoothly but I get no ignition of fuel not even a sputter. Now is it fuel or spark?
    I am baking on fuel. Do i need to vent or pressurize the fuel rails after something like this as the t-bodies and tank get tossed in all different directions?



    thanks,

    maybe you should have left the PAIR 'junk' alone?

    Start by checking for spark because it's the easiest thing you can do.

    There are hundreds of this that's and the the others with what you "could" have done. None of it matters and chasing ghosts is a waste of time. Start with the basics and check for spark.

    remember to turn the fuel tank petcock back on?

    I would remove the fuel line from the throttle body assembly and check to see if fuel is being pumped to the throttle bodies.

    Found problem..
    I must have twisted the tank 360* while I had it off.
    The fuel supply line from the tank to fuel rail is twisted inside the collar of the pressure fitting for the banjo fitting to the tank.

    Removing tank again....... STUPID STUPID STUPID...

    don't sweat it man. that's how you learn... I learned how to raise my front end off the ground to take off the tire after I dropped it into a pole and dented my shiny new tank a few years ago... UGH...
