This is a good one. After sitting for a few months I started the bike and got it out of the garage. It ran rough, almost like being out of fuel. Turned the bike off and opened the tank up. Looks like it's out of fuel. Put a little over a gallon in and tried to start. Engine fires for a brief second, that initial roar and then it dies.
I can cycle the kill switch or the key and it sometimes doesn't fire at all. Sometimes it fires and then dies. If I hold the starter for a few seconds it acts like it wants to start, but doesn't.
Cycling the key or kill switch, causes the fuel pump to come on and charge the system.
I have a PC-V and pulled the injectors and placed the stock ones back on with no change in behavior.
I charged the ultra light battery, just in case it was a low voltage issue and no change in behavior.
When I took the tank off, fuel would leak out of the hose as a slow drip if the fuel level was over the fuel pump.
I ran it about every 2 weeks for a few minutes, up and down the street, after the last track day with no issues. This went on until the beginning of September. Then it sat for about 7 weeks due to work, vacation, life and so on. The only change I have made in that time frame is adding my lightech adjusters and lifters.
I am thinking fuel delivery issue as it seems to fire better if you prime the fuel system by letting the fuel pump cycle. It's not consistent though.
Any ideas?
