October 25, 20205 yr First thing I did was take the kill switch off, nothing...not even a pop. There's no spark at the plug. Tried new plug and cleaning earth and connections on coil...nothing. I had done one lap of sections, refilled fuel, couple more sections completed. then stopped to walk a section and would not start...not a pop. Not found anything on a search, I guess they usually don't go wrong much. Is there anything that commonly goes wrong wrong on older bikes? mine is the first 05 model.
October 26, 20205 yr Usually the problem is a new owner. What have you done to it? Turn the idle up and try it again. Edited October 26, 20205 yr by lineaway
October 26, 20205 yr Low idle is a common issue, needs to be 1800... The bank angle sensor can fail on them, find it and bypass the two outside wires with a jumper to test. the throttle stop can ware a bit or get tweaked and the position can read as a negative value instead of 0, or near 0. the fuel pump or fan can stop working and cause the ECU to not let it spark (can test both with a 12v battery) that's a good first stab list... good luck.
November 1, 20205 yr Author Ive looped out the bank angle sensor, fuel pump and fan is running ok. I guess I need to read up on the throttle stop, sure I've come across a thread on hear on the subject.
November 1, 20205 yr As these things get more computerized it may be time for them to have a “limp home mode”.

From what I have seen on my 07 4RT when I was having some strange issues the ECU will cut the spark when kicking it on things like full throttle (or to much throttle) and a negative value. Guessing its a safety thing, wouldn't want a bike to start up from 0 and instantly rev its head off or something else strange. Edited November 2, 20205 yr by jonnyc21
