    big THANK YOU to Degsy!

    I've had this issue for the last week or so and been trying to figure out why my Fuel Injection wasn't priming when I turn the key on.

    After about a week of fiddling around I finally realized that I know nothing about electronics except how to solder a wire and put di-electric grease in the connectors.

    After my realization I enlisted the help of Degsy to come over and work some of his motorcycle magic with the multimeter and try to pinpoint the issue...

    With him only being there for about a 45 mins or so he tested just about everything and zeroed in on a front sub-harness issue and pin-pointed the bank angle sensor with in another 15 or so mins.

    We tested it and a couple different ways to confirm this was my issue.

    To boot he also got the part I needed $10 bucks less than anywhere on the net! !!

    Over all I think he saved me a crap load money from towing the bike to a shop and having one of their hacks fiddle with it for a bunch of hours and charging me out the ass!!

    THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP DEGSY!! I know who I am calling next time I have an issue or need some work done on the RR!!

    Congrats on solving the problem. Did you consider just bypassing the sensor and being done with it?

    I did consider this but for $60 I figure just get a new one since the bike is in 100 pieces ever where already and I can't ride till next year because I have a broken foot
