Changed Oil/Engine case covers... bike (05 R6) won't start

[NeverlosT]

I would think if your ECU isnt happy and isnt dropping the one wire to ground that it would light some indication on the guage cluster (FI or something). If all of the wires are showing continuity (to what, ground? 12V high?) and are not supposed to, it sounds like you dont have a sensor issue, it sounds like you nuked a relay or something and maybe through a heating event merged some wiring. If you get a multimeter, set it to measure voltage, and touch it to each of the 4 wires and see if when trying to start ANY of them change at all. If none of them change, period, then it must be some safety shutoff. Maybe when you got oil on the kickstand sensor it got inside and is constantly tripping the sensor.

Looks from that diagram like the starter switch supplies the ground to the starter motor through the starting circuit cut off relay (6). Check this relay out or swap it out. The cut off relay needs 8, 9 and 19 to be closed before it will pick. If that relay isn't picked it won't start.

Let me have a quick look at a real wiring diagram and I can tell you what wires to check. Are you familiar with looking for 12v and continuity with a multimeter?

Chek for the voltages on the relay end. If the relay is faulty, it will not pick up even if there is voltage. Let me know if you need additional help. I will be around this weekend. I am better off seeing it in person.

bypassed the switches and still nothing...

One of the bolts that holds the kickstand switch down got stripped so I just cut the wire off and connected both ends. And I paper-clipped the two inputs to the clutch switch.

The bike has a gear indicator on it- maybe this could be interfering with the gear/neutral sensor?

Ignition wiring diagram is on page 378 for whoever can read it and can help... here's the link again:

Fixed.

You're welcome Nik. Nice meeting you.

what was it Degs? N switch?

There was corrosion in the killswitch. Needed the contacts cleaned and she turned right over

Shame on me, I forgot to take high-resolution photos

Get the correct radiator and you should be good to go, Nik

Actually, it was the starter switch. Just about 1 ohm across when it was closed, just enough to stop the starter relay from picking. 1 spray of brake cleaner and she dropped to .2 ohms and BINGO!

thanks Derek for the help and Chris for the hospitality.

lesson learned: multimeter ftw.

You find the right radiator yet?

yea i did, sent the payment for it today... don't think i'll get to it till after thanksgiving tho since i'm leaving friday for my week off.
