    Help 2008 r3 touring not starting

    Hi all you rocketeers I'm back, so I haven't gotten a bike back, but he went through the valves, all were right on. changed the fuel filter and while changing the fuel filter he broke the bolt on the tank so I had to get a new used tank for $575. Plus more parts. It's over $2,000 already and...

    Is this the Nels tune from Bob R your talking about, cause I think that's what I have loaded 20368?

    Yeah I have the cat delete pipe and tours slip ons on it, do you still think that is too restricted exhaust for the ram air and Nels tune? I think that's the tune I have

    Yeah I ordered a aftermarket shim kit $100 from Dime 20 shims, getting a Ram Air filter $211 fromram air, and valve cover and fuel pump/tank gaskets $65 from Triumph, this is getting costly, hopefully it works great and runs great for some time to come. Mechanic said it is running rich so I...

    Update, my mechanic told me it started right up, I guess he wants to put it all back together and see how it really runs, wants to try the old Rocket 😅

    Bought all new injectors from Triumph, $720 mechanic said the old one's i sent out were all bad and not spraying, also got the $60 fuel filter, hopefully this works, also he did a compression test and found #2 low around 160psi thinking it's a tight valve as that intake was black and it was...

    Here's the update, I changed the gas, tried to start, no go. I reprogrammed the ECU and cranked for a while, while hitting it with starting flid, no go, guess I'm ready to take it in. Thank you all for the help

    The battery is brand new, I have a switch on the lights to turn off, it was a lot of cranking like 2 days plus reading tune ecu leaving the switch on, it didn't totally die, went down to 12.6 volts and my starter wants more, it was still cranking the bike when I took it off, don't really...

    Well I changed the gas, guess I'll try refreshing the map, but the battery is down again, so probably get to it tomorrow, I pumped new gas up to fuel rail, hoping with a little more cranking it will flush the rail, not getting a strong fuel smell out of the throttle bodies. Do I have to...

    Well I checked the pressure 38 psi on a cheap gage, but I pumped some gas out again and it was pretty yellow (or should I say ugly yellow) and didn't smell quite right, think I'm gonna try replacing fuel first since that's easier. Wish me luck 😉

    Thanks atom, got my tester, going to try soon, maybe lifting the tank up and down Sterling up the bottom clogged the filter, the guy that did the injectors told me I should replace it. The tank is almost 3/4 full, ugh

    I don't get it, it has spark, getting 12.7 volt to injectors, they ohm out to 11.4 ohms resistant, guess it's time to check the pressure of the fuel pump, bad gas ethanol free maybe 2 months ago

    Update vacuum lines are correct, cleared codes, none came back, got good flow of fuel to the rail, guess my next option is check the injectors are good and getting a voltage signal, have to get some test leads. Oh and check connections at ecu, I checked the fuses again ok. Thanks guys for...

    Yes Kevin bike was running rough before I sent out the injectors, so it's something I did wrong and the only thing I'm not sure about is the vacuum lines, it has the California emissions can and not sure of its connections as they are hard to see once they go behind the frame, plus also...

    Help 2008 r3 touring not starting

    Thanks I'll try to get to that, but I still want to make sure I have the evaporator can hoses right, and reset the codes first. I can hear the pump coming on and shutting down I guess when it's up to pressure, I have a fuel gage somewhere, but at least I can disconnect the hose to the...
