Hi everyone, hope you can assist me with the r6
I recently bought a r6 in a rough state at a pawn dealer, 59k km on the clock. The bike was running when I bought it, although it needed some playing with the throttle to start, it ran on all 4 but did sound a bit rough/out of synch..
Anyway I stripped the side off to check out the clutch(There was a noise at idle), and replace the broken spring washers in there, drained oil and coolant, removed fuel pump and cleaned strainer...put everything back. Could not get the bike to start for 2 days, removed fuel pump again and put the o-ring inside the fuel pump in its correct place(that was my fault for not paying attention when I assembled the pump), when I put it back I could here the pump building up pressure nicely, I got it to start for 6 sec then it cut off, got it running again for about 1 min on 2 cylinders, then the third cylinder joined in and then finally the 4th, but the 4th would come and go. The bike stalled again and after this I cannot get it started again.
Do you guys think it’s spark related or maybe i’m still not getting enough fuel pressure? Thinking of replacing all 4 plugs tomorrow as that is something i have not done,
Thanx in advance
