Hey Folks, Back Again ARRGGHH
Went to go for a morning ride yesterday, and the same sh$$ again. Got PO'd and pulled the batt. and went to town for testing. Got a new batt. installed and same. Cranks, no fire. Charged the batt. to 100%, still won't start.
No hill around here, so I can't try the push start.
PCIII has power.
Fuel Pump cycles.
Power to rest of bike.
Just won't fire.
Had Problems last year with a main breaker recall. Bike would cut out while running. Could I be playing in the same park again?

Checked all fuses, OK
Pulled spark plugs, tried turning it over with the spark plug grounded. Saw a spark but it didn't seem strong or consistantly sparking.
How large should the spark be? Where to ground it? To the fins or head bolt?
Fuel line is being pressurized. How can you tell if your getting fuel w/ an EFI?
Spark plugs were dry when I pulled them.
Wanted to ride today, not scratch my head and wrench.

My problem twice was a bad crimp on the ground wire which intermittently worked. First time thought it was a fluke, loose in the crimp replaced and had another problem touched the wire and it was hanging barely at the end of the eyelet. Wire came off in my hand.
