Hey ya'll...

I cant seem to get my r6 runnin. I had it started last week and all i did was put a new tank on it and not it doesnt want to start. Well it starts and turns over then just shuts its self off. I reset the computer checked the fuses and everything else is fine.

Got any ideas of what it can be please let me know!

Thanks,
Krysten

 

check the harness on the bottom of the tank can you hear your fuel pump kick on

 

you probley pinched a line take the tank off and move the lines.

 

had the same problem with my r6 when i changed tanks
it wouldn't start just start up a bit and die,
i left it alone for a day came back and it started and ran liek ****
so i thoguht it needed new plugs but i reved it up and it ended up clearing up,
and its fine now...go figure

 

I'd go with removing the tank, you prolly did pink a line...... worth a shot right?

 

probably a kinked fuel line.

If that isnt it, it might be a bad fuel pump.

 

I lifted the tank and made sure nothing was pinched it still wouldnt start. I used the same fuel pump that had on my other tank and it started no problem with the other tank. I can hear the pump kick on im just really gettin confused. It will turn over if i hold in the starter and then turn the key but will still only stay running for a second or 2.

Anything else i should try??

 

are both plugs hooked up to it? and all three lines/tubes?

 

Yes everything is hooked up correctly.

 

this is the 03-05 r6 we speak of correct?

 

Yeah its an 05.

 

hit your red on/off switch on off a few times, each time waiting for the priming noise to stop.

 

Yeah ive done that too...

Its probably nothing big i guess i gotta check the grounds maybe the alternator went on it.

Im hopin im still just lookin over something.

LOL i feel like a ****yn girl tryin to figure this out!

 

seriously if u just replaced the tank... this shouldn't be happening. there isn't anything else u have done to it? did u run the bike outta gas before the swap?

 

that's why it's called not r-six but r-sux :P

 

Hey u just leave my 6 alone i luv the ****yn bike more than my 1000rr. yeah nothing else was done to it, left gas in it it still has a new full tank of gas.

 

1000rr is weak,I rode many of them,feels like 600.just bored and looking to pick on someone and give ****

 

O i was gonna say... im not that bored so im not ready to really fire back yet...

As long as it is all in good fun...

 

lets see some of your stunt pics of videos :P
