So sometimes its hard to start but when it does it might idle for maybe 10-20 seconds? Then it dies. The header gets so hot its ridiculous and it only takes maybe 15 seconds? Its not the exhaust, not the air filter, not the gas pump, and I put a MSD on it with the map I usually run on the other bike and there wasn't a difference. I'm thinking this could be electrical? I had been switching between no controller over to a Juicebox PRO, over to an MSD. So maybe the mapping on the bike got ****ed up? Maybe a wire got pulled out somewhere? I'm so ****ing lost with this bike right now

sounds like your running extremly lean if ur getting that hot within 15 seconds... try adding in a bit of fuel with ur MSD and see where that takes u

 

[BASED_RIDER]

Alright I'll try that, so I know how to plug the msd into the computer and get the maps up and what not but how exactly would I go about changing the fuel? Also this was happening when I had the MSD off and after I put it on it didn't change anything, So you think just giving it more fuel would help?

I see your in Eugene, get your bike on the Dyno at Oregon Coast Powersports (OCP) in Winchester Bay. Jeff will get your MSD all set up and its usually only around $75

Even when tuned properly, you're going to get a glowing red header. Use a heat shield or high quality wrap to save face on riding pants. Trust me...

 

[BASED_RIDER]

I'm well aware that that the header will get hot and glow. But its getting ridiculously hot within seconds which isn't normal. I have another 2012 yfzr which is running perfectly. The 2013 though isn't running properly at all and I'm at a lose. I don't think it has to do with the MSD at all because I usually have it on the 2012 and it runs great with my map but when i transfer all my Bolt ons over to the 2013 nothing changes

 

[BASED_RIDER]

alright you guys this should help you figure out whats wrong I hope! so when i turn it on it will idle fine for about 5 seconds but itll then start to slow down until it dies. what could cause that?

 

[CHRISSELL]

fuel issue maby sounds like the bike is able to preshurize the fuel system but when u start it it cant keep up with it the demand for fuel like a blockage or a crimped line some where or a fuel pump going bad try takeing fuel sysem apart and cleaning it sounds like A issue i had with my camero would start but only for like ten seconds and die ended up being bad fuel pump oh and the fuel pump preshure should be at 47.0 psi acording to my service manual

 

[diypunx]

Is there any type of flashing code sequence up on a check engine light area?

 

[BASED_RIDER]

alright so when i unplug the pressure sensor it will idle just fine. when i plug it back in though it won't idle. So i swapped it out with another one i had but it didn't change anything. Is there possibly a blockage? I'll pull the hose out and flush some water through it

 

[CHRISSELL]

that and allso u could have a cloged fuel filter or a cloged fuel preshure regulator witch is on a little fuel rail above your throttle body it has a screw in top of it check that for a blockadge too ill keep looking threw service mannuale and send stuff as i find it

 

[BASED_RIDER]

so hears a picture i just took. I dont know if you can see but one of the little screws is missing on the bottom of this part. also the bolt next to it looks like there might be some liquid on it? gas possibly. Would this have anything to do with the problem?

 

[CHRISSELL]

that is your throttle cable cover and maby if i were u take your throttle body out and clean it make shure evrything is working take your injector out and clean it make shure the butterfly valve is clean and moveing freely make shure every thing like the tps sensor it tight and no hoses are pinched all of your electrical conections on the tps sensor air preshure sensor and the injector are clean and conected

 

[CHRISSELL]

oh and idle speed conections are good dont take them out of throttle body just make shure the conections are good and inside of tb is clean

 

[CHRISSELL]

and take that cover u posted pic of off with the missing nut see if its clean and there is a nut holding the cable holer in there to the butterfly make shure thats not comeing loose

 

[CHRISSELL]

U figure Out whats wrong yet
