My Busa died!!!! Help!!!!!!!!

[philbilly80]

I've got an 07 busa. Went out and cranked it up tonight, was letting it warm up and it just died on me. I tried to start it back up and its just turning over but wont crank. Insight would be great I totaled my RC51 a week and a half ago and now my Busa is dead!!!

Turning over but wont crank?
So its turning over but will not start?

Fire Fuel Air, it does have gas in it

 

[philbilly80]

Yeah it won't start. Full tank of gas.

If it has good gas and it ran well when you started it, I'd check the fuel pump and fuel filter.

When you turn the key to ignition on (not starting it yet), do you hear the fuel pump kick in?

07 fuel pump , hmmm



Has it cranked yet

weak/dying/dead battery

 

[StrtRac3r]

I also think weak battery or fuel pumps. When a fuel pump dies it "usually" will start after sitting a while, but only for a min or less. I haven't dealt with this on a bike though

fuel pump is kicking in. gonna check filter and spark plugs.

i had ridden it earlier in the day and it did fine. it has me stumped. i did kill the battery trying to start it.

Thou shalt not kill .

I did kill the battery trying to start it.

1. remove battery
2. take to local auto parts store to get LOAD-TESTED
3. buy new battery (since old one will most likely fail #2 above)
4. install new battery in bike and enjoy. ride safe

IMHO, above easier/faster/cheaper to check vs. below

gonna check filter and spark plugs.

 

[philbilly80]

fingers crossed..... going to get battery.

My 07 did something similar last year, new battery and all was good good luck

 

[card16969]

easiest question is it turning over fast or slow.. if turning over slow battery is too low to charge the coils fully to create a good spark... and if it ran then stopped you may not be getting a strong enough charge from the charging system and it was just running off of the battery.

Do ya have a power commander on it? Could be that, I had 1 crap out a few years ago.

This time of year when everybodies getting their bikes started after sitting all winter you hear all kinds of weird issues. 99% of them are going to be related to a bad battery from sitting for a winter or 2 with no battery tender hooked up. I have tenders on my 04 busa with original battery, 06 14 with original battery, and 92 gsxr-1100 on 3rd battery. The busa and 14 fire up instantly after being parked for months without starting, and the 1100 starts up pretty quick too once I refill the carbs (I drain the bowls for the winter). Get tenders and use them and most starting issues will go away
