OK, so I was at Road America today with my firebolt going through the learning curves class to obtain my CCS race license and just as I get geared up and ready for the tech inspection and my damn bike wont start! So here is what lead up to everything. Last night the bike was running great, I then pulled the muffler off and proceeded to gut it (not totally gutted just reworked). I throw the muffler back on and she fires right up and so I put about 15 miles on the bike, bike ran great but the torque was not what I was expecting, but without having a dyno I wasnt going to rely on the butt dyno. So I kill the bike and safety wire up the bike and then go to bed. So today after it wouldnt start I figured the issue was probably plugs. So I went over and talked to Henry Duga and he set me up with a new set of plugs and I throw them in. Well the plugs wernt the issue. I also checked all the fuses (even the non-pertinant ones) and I swapped out the relays. I also pulled a plug and cranked it and I DO have spark. My fuel pump does turn on and cycles but when I crank her over she wont fire. So now that i've ruled out the easy stuff does anyone else have any ideas for me???? |

Double check the contacts on the safety switch? |

Maybe the gutted pipe messed up the 02 sensor? Getting any trouble codes? |

No trouble codes- Thats the distressing part. I am going into this blind. Contacts on the safety switch- Which contacts might you be referring to? If any safety switches are tripped the bike wouldnt even turn over correct? (i.e. pulling my headlight fuse). |

Sorry, read too fast and missed where you finally had spark. How strong is your battery on a load test? |
