Well after we got the bike back home, my little brother and stripped it down and start troubleshooting. We removed the spark plugs and noticed it looked like the plugs were Dry firing. We narrowed it down to the fuel system.
tonight after work I removed the fuel pump and tore it completely apart.
In my sunday post i mentioned that i had cleaned the filter, I DID NOT in my irrational state of mind of my bike has broken down again and i dont know how im gonna fix i said i had cleaned the filter, i cleaned the exterior of the pump i never took it apart! i apologize. Anyway what i found was unbelievable, in the bottom of the pump was a pile of muddy rusty gunk, and the fuel strainer as i learned today was completely clogged. and the large plastic piece that the gas runs through was filled with the same! after two hrs of cleaning everything with gasoline scrapers and brilo pads and lots of air blowing, we had it all cleaned and reassmbled!
We then put it back together and put a little bit of gas in the tank and just hooked the lines up, and lo and behold she fired right up, gave her a few cranks and didnt see anything or hear anything bad.
Tomorrow i will put the fairings on and ride it! I will then officially know if its all at a hundred percent! My brother, dad, brothers father-in-law, and i leave sunday for a 6 day bike trip, and I just dont want anything to go wrong..
Dk55 - thankyou for letting me know about your mechanic i will let you know if i need his assistance!!!!
also i took pictures of the parts to show how horrible they were but i cant pull them off my phone for some reason.....
This is all the result of using a painter who was careless with my bike and parts, a mistake that i have learned alot from and will never happen again!!!
