Can anyone tell me how to check the crank senser? I had a couple people tell me this may be the problem.

How many wires does it have?
If just 2 it is passive and you can put the meter leads on it (resistance check) and it will be open until triggered or closed until triggered. If you can turn the bike over without it starting, just leave the sensor in the bike to check, for the crank will contain a trigger point.

Try oulling the air filter off & spraying fuel (I use a flammable brake clean) in when it is running. There are two sides in the throttle body, one side will either make a difference or no difference the other side will try to kill the engine due to getting too much fuel. If it does not make any difference when you spray into it, disconnect the injector & retry, if it smooths out then the injector is bad. If it was a crank sensor, it would not run. Good luck
