Jamez Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 After the bike sits for more than a day its hard to get started.I have to key it on and off a few times and the pump has to prime a couple times before she will start. No other issues of any kind. When trying to start you. Can hear it fire 1 cylinder (poof) sound.Compression is good.After she's been running, she will fire right up. it will also start with no problems when cold as long as it has not sat for more than a day.Plugs recently replacedNo other driveability issuesAlways use the same gas ( mobile premium )Any ideas?

Scruit Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Injected or Carb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Make sure the bowl drain screws are tight. Its a long shot, but it may be leaking the gas out of the bowl when it sits and has to refill when you go to start it in a few days. Check the carbs over very closely while you are in there.

Simplysix Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Could be a leaking injector(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Or some other leak in the fuel line that is causing the static pressure to drop over time. Leaking injector is a good candidate if you can't smell gas around the bike (especially if it is kept in a garage).Does the oil smell like gas?

conn-e-rot Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 There is a recall on the older triumphs for fuel lines and fittings might be something to look into and see if it's been done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hmm. I would have never guessed a 2001 triumph 600 to be FI.I'm with the rest. Look for leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Triumph started using FI well before some others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamez Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I was thinking injector as well but wanted to hear what others thought.Ill deal with it until I put the bike up for winter and pull my injectors at that time.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 sometimes when its hot out or if it sat for long periods of time ill turn the key on and off 2 or 3 times on my TL to prime the pump really well before cranking..it seems to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GESEXER Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I am having the same issue with my bike too. 2001 GSXR 600 Fuel Injected. And go figure my FI light came on a couple days ago. But I could not get mine to start. Wants to start but will not. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamez Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I don't have any trouble lights at all, just doesn't like to start after sitting.I tried 2TallTims suggestion of primeing the pump a few times and it actually does seem to help.I'm due for 30K maintenance this winter which includes valves and other stuff so ill have them check it out at that time. Hopefully its ok till I pack her in for the season.Thanks 2 2Talltim for that suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Could be engine heat cooking the gas out of your lines and burping the vapor into your tank. If the level in your tank is below the vapor in the Line it won't siphon down. Check and see if you have a line resting on the case or against the block.

You need to read the code.As for the OP you need to check fuel pump and lines. Bet fuel pump is going bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
