I can pull the cover but I honestly can't imagine why that would matter. I might as well try though!

 

Ground cable. Check the ground. That's probably the problem.

 

SMALL VICTORY TONIGHT!! I had mistakenly assumed it was getting fuel because I could smell gas when I pulled the plug to check for spark. NOT. A shot of starter fluid into the throttle body and it fired right off. Didn't stay running, of course, but at least I've narrowed it down a bit. Before this ever started I had made an appointment to have the dealer get inside the tank to change the fuel filter (20K service thing), so I'll bet the problem will be pretty obvious once they dig in. I'm done until I load it onto the trailer on Monday. Not gonna switch out ECM's unless they CAN'T find anything wrong in there. Thanks very much for all the suggestions!

 

you didn't accidently bump the petcock to the off position , did ya?

 

No petcock on my bike.

 

Cool, looks like you are making progress. The problem is related to fuel system.

1. When you power on the system. Do you hear the fuel pump start humming for a few seconds? If no, check the power to fuel pump. IF yes, fuel pump is bad.
2. Check for fuel pressure, look for a relieve valve near the fuel regulator, push the pin in you should see gas will squirt out. If no, check fuel line.

HTH and good luck

 

Fuel pump primes up, as normal. Gonna let the dealer handle the rest. I'm tempted to do it myself but I already had the appointment set up and they were gonna do the fuel filter anyway. I'm guessing something came apart inside the tank, a hose came off or something. I'll let ya know what I find out!

 

Sounds like a plan, besides it is good for the economy to get money circulating instead of keep under the mattress.

 

Hauled it in today. Sad seeing my baby on a trailer.
