Dropped my '01 f4i, and it started right up when I stood it up, but when I got it home, I didn't realize the headlight had gotten disconnected and it was turning over but not starting. Finally I realized my mistake, and plugged the light in. The bike started right up, but smoked out my whole garage in 15 seconds, shut itself off, and now I cant hear the fuel pump whine when I turn the key on. This blows. Help!!!

 

sadly this is wat i always think of wen someone drops there bike then has fuel pump problems... tip sensor maybe. which on ur i believe is by the headlight so if everything got fried that makes sense. one of the wires is prolly jacked up

 

ya sounds like the tipover switch got disconnected and the smoke is probably oil in the air box , do the clean air mod to keep from hydro locking your motor

 

im also having a hard time starting my f4i, it ran fine but when i got to the lot the battery was dead so i tried push starting it without any luck and then i jumped it. When i did that the bike turned over but didnt start all i smelled was raw gas. so i took out the plugs and they were soaked in gas. i cleaned and put them back and the bike started but ran like **** wouldnt idle and sounded rough. I know the plugs can cause this but i just replaced them last summer and i only ride lots with this bike so i didnt put that much miliage on the bike
Do these symptoms sound like a pressure regulator cause from what i read thats a common problem wiith these bike?
Im gonna get some cheap plugs tomorrow and see if that helps but for now any thoughts?

 

could very well be the pressure regulator but if the bike isnt charging good ar has a weak battery you could get the same symptoms

 

cleaned the plugs and its all good
Thanks OMR
