Re: F4I WONT START... help pleaaaaaseeee

check your main fuse. those relays always click, doesn't mean they are bad. and dude.. get a test light.. all you have to do is run a ground and to a hot. That easy. if you need a brakelight, go get a brembo banjo that has 2 wires coming off it, it senses fluid pressure and will activate the tail light. Just check your fuses, something might have grounded.

Re: F4I WONT START... help pleaaaaaseeee

Re: F4I WONT START... help pleaaaaaseeee

check your pink wire by your ignition. CHECK THE MAIN FUSE. The one by the starter selenoid. Make sure the bikes in neutral, check your tip sensor bypass.. I'm sure you have the front harness off right? make sure where you jumped them they are good

Re: F4I WONT START... help pleaaaaaseeee

just go over all your wiring, make sure the fuel pump harness isn't burned up. if it was in front of me i could fix it in 10 mins.. hard online

if your fuel pump isnt priming check your relays on the right side under the tail.

Re: F4I WONT START... help pleaaaaaseeee

kill switch is bypassed so i dont kick it off, maybe i take it apart and check that... But i just dont think its anything like that, being as i havent even rode it, all i did was switch the tail light harness... Would it not crank when i hit the start button, if it was one of the relays on the tail?? fuel pump relay and engine cut relay....

Re: F4I WONT START... help pleaaaaaseeee

it won't work if the fuel pump isn't running. Just find a buddy with an f4i, it's just one clip. I don't know why it would do that from a tail light, how would anything get fucked up from that. No logical answer.

Re: F4I WONT START... help pleaaaaaseeee

You said that the fuel pump relay is just clicking and not making the pump prime... that relay might be fried from switching the harness back and forth... borow one from someone and see if thats it...are your colcks doing their little dance when you turn on the key??
