So I bought my 2002 YZF R6 about 2 weeks ago it has 16,000 miles on it...and I've never been more frustrated in my life. Here's the issue I'm having.
Where to start...ok so when I bought the bike, it was running flawlessly, no issues whatsoever. Bike would start right up, idle at about 1500 rpm, good responsive throttle pull. I took it to the bank, it was sitting outside for about 10 minutes, I go back out to the bike, and it won't start. Jumped the bike with my truck (the truck was NOT running), it started right up. I left it running for about 10 minutes, then started riding it again. Shut it off, it started right back up again. Rode it to auto zone to get the battery charged, because I thought it was maybe going dead. Right as I was pulling into the parking lot, the bike started sputtering out, then died. When I'd pull the throttle, the rpms would drop, then finally shut off. They said the battery was good, it was holding a charge. So i put the battery back in, it started. I rode it about a mile, then it died again. I had a mechanic come pick it up. They concluded that it was the regulator wiring harness, so they rewired it. It started right up. Then died again a few miles later. I replaced the regulator. Nothing. I took it to another dude, he concluded it was the pick-up assy (tilt sensor?). Just put that in, bike still won't crank up. He checked my spark plugs, said they were good. Now I'm about to take it to a dealer and pay $100 an hour to troubleshoot...does anybody have any ideas of what my problem could be? Any help/ideas would be appreciated. I'm new to this, so I don't know much about the bike. Call me/e-mail me/post a reply...THIS BIKE IS PISSING ME OFF!!!!!!!!! :curse:curse:curse:curse:curse:curse:curse:curse:curse
