Mister2 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 hey guys... my 2000 CBR 600 F4 has been sitting for the last 2 weeks...and i go to ride it yesterday it starts up and runs normal so i take off down the road after letting it warm up a bit...then it starts to load up a bit so i gently gas it it bring it out of it and it clears up...i start slowing for an upcoming stop sign and the bike stalls and will not restart..all it does is crank....well i figure maybe its flooded (jetted carbs and its 90+ degrees out) so i let it sit for a couple hours and try to restart...it tries to fire for a second then nothing...just cranks....and same thing today also...i checked fuses all good...battery is new...can feel/hear fuel pump come on but i checked power to #1 coil and i am only getting 1.5v for like a second then no power at all...does anyone have any ideas??? sorry for the long story...

KhaoticRebel Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 What ended up being the problem? My bike is doing a similar thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorifto240 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Ideas from simple to complex:Maybe a dead battery? Mine drains pretty quickly when I let it sit. It might have had enough to start the bike, but not enough to sustain it.The other thing could be, gasoline varnished the fuel filter. You burned through what was in the bowls and because the filter is sealed up, nothing is getting through.Up next, could be dirty carbs/clogged jets. Easy to fix, just time consuming.My guess though is the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC51 John Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 It's prolly them damn carbs.What type of gas do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaoticRebel Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I replaced the battery, put it on a trickle charger, and still no luck. I topped off the fuel. I always use super and not the stuff from Flying J. It's not the fuel pump, because you hear it run for the fuel injection when you turn the key. I'm having new spark plugs put in as my next step.

scottb Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 is it possible the fuel hose feel off the fuel pump inside the tank? Does the bike run off starting fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 It's easy to check the battery. Simple way is to jump it to another good battery (not with an engine running), and see if it starts ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
