Well I am having my first problem with my 2002 R1. It will not start. It cranks and cranks but no go. I tried starting it tell the battery died. Half tank of gas and no engine light. This one is going back to the dealer. Had an R6 and never one problem!!

hmmmm you should be able to get a new battery at least out of that....

It's possible that you have a bad battery. Most ECM's (computers) use 5v references for all of the machines on board sensors. If the battery voltage drops below 11 voltsit may still crank the bike but, while cranking you generally will drop 1 to 1 1/2 volts. When this happens and the voltage drops there wouldn't be enough to keep the 5v reference for the computer. Without the reference the computer won't see the crank sense and the FI will not fire. I'm an auto mechanic but the FI bikes these days use the same setup that your car uses. I have seen this happen with cars. One thing to remember with computer controlled engines also is, NEVER boost them to jump start them. In other words, you can use a jump pack or charge the battery but don't use a battery charger that has a boost option for starting. It force feeds the battery and therefore all the electrical components including the ECM and sensors. You can damage the ECM, ignition module, stator or cranksensor(whichever setup your bike may have).

Haven't had the problem since I posted the problem message. Yes, FatboyR6 I did have the run switch toggled on. LOL. I think my battery was low and now that I charged it up all the way I should be fine. I just hope this doesn't happen 100 miles away from home.
Well if you're worried about it happening 100 miles from home, buy a new battery then. Sucks but oh well, sure beats having to get your bike home somehow doesn't it/images/icons/wink.gif.

Hey Shamar1, I didn't realize you live in NJ. Willingboro isn't far at all. I bought my bike in Cherry Hill, which is just about halfway between us./images/icons/cool.gif
