My R1 Wont start

[krazykid]

Hi guy's,

The other day i replaced the stock R1 radiator with a nice alloy one, i fired it up, all was good, no leaks or anything so i shut it down and put it back in the shed.
The next day i went to ride it to work and it would'nt start. When i turn the ignition on the headlights turn on and the dash does it's thing but i cant hear the fuel pump kick in and when i hit the starter button there's nothing. I replaced the Starter cut out/Fuel pump relay but it did'nt help. ive chased wires around looking for any broken or melted ones and everything looks fine.
It's doing my head in so i thought i'd ask and see if this has happened to anyone else's bikes? If not i'll have to drop it in to the shop.

how is your battery voltage wise also check the usual suspects is it in gear or is the killswitch on does it have a clutch switch etc etc

[MattyDucati]

It's not in gear is it?

[BANDITROD]

ninja'd motherfucker hahahaha

[krazykid]

nah mate it's not in gear haha.

[krazykid]

Battery is all good, it will end up being something simple and stupid but fuck its pissing me off!

[BANDITROD]

in that case i would retrace your steps on changing the rad over and check all your wiring

[krazykid]

yeah i will AGAIN haha. It fired up fine after the new rad was in, then i just switched it off as normal.

maybe something wasnt clicked in properly id say

Haven't done anything else like use a different (spare) key? Depending on the year, I think the later ones have a battery in the key which can go flat and the bike won't start.

Just a thought - I know the Honda HISS ones are bastards for that.

[krazykid]

nope havnt done that. I just ordered another relay so hopefully thats what it is. The first relay i ordered ive just worked out was the Fuel pump relay and this one is called a Starting circuit cutoff relay.

I would check the clutch switch and wiring to plug first

Side Stand relay could be worth a look

Burn it with FIRE that will make it start.

Treat it like one of the weaker kids at school, push it around a bit till it fights back then set fire to the fucker.

FIXED!
