F1 Warning and error

[O.C.]

Hi Glenn, its definitely turning over then and the battery is fine.
Could you hear a noise from the fuel pump when you first turn on the ignition?

Just to clarify is the bike actually turning over and not starting ?

What about the can position sensor?  Think these can cause this fault

If it were my bike I'd be tempted to spray a little brake cleaner in the air intake as you crank the engine. If it tries to fire up I'd then look at fuel issues. You need to try and work out if you can hear the fuel pump when you turn on the ignition. When you turn the ignition on, can you remember if the noises from the bike sound different to when the bike was working?  I had a problem many years ago where the wiring to the pump and display went faulty, preventing the bike from starting.
I'm only guessing here, but if the bike doesn't try to start on brake cleaner, then it could well be a sensor as mentioned in the previous post, or an electrical problem of some description, where diagnostic software will be required.

Hi All

Yes i can hear the fuel pump priming, and when turning on the ignition everything sounds normal.

Where is the air intake to try the brake cleaner?

Could it be bad fuel? Not sure if that is a thing, or a blocked fuel filter.

Or perhaps admit defeat and when circumstances permit, get the bike booked into Autorama for a proper diagnostic check.

Bugger off! We're helping this bloke. 

He's probably tearing his hair out with frustration. A bike that won't start and when it does start he won't be able to go out for a leisure ride on it anyway for God knows how long!

It would be great if we could come up with a solution. If not it is as Steve says.

Trouble is, its been cranked over so many times, I bet the cylinders are flooded with fuel, old fuel at that.  I hate to say it, but it does look like tank off and some decent Easy Start sprayed into the manifold.  Pulling the plugs is a whole new ball game

@nightraider Can you smell fuel from the exhaust when its been cranking over, or a smell of fuel generally?

Hasn't got an alarm imobiliser on it has it. I see in an earlier post you interupted the power supply. Can be a big issue if alarm wasn't put in safe mode first.
