Default Need help!! Broke down

Ok sitting on side of road
Just got gas went a half mile, in 5 th gear and bike just quits
No sputtering , no nothing

Looked at codes and I have 1016 and 1040
Bike cranks fine
Can hear fuel pump when turning on ignition
Sounds like good compression
Check throttle body connector

Any ideas??????

UPDATE: Got the bike home and working on it now. I have spark on both plugs. Can hear the fuel pump turn on but doesn't seem like plugs are getting any fuel. Took off quick disconnect and it seemed to come off really easy like no pressure in line, but eh pump is turning off after a few seconds when I turn on the ignition. Wouldn't that tell me the fuel pressure is building up at least in the pump?

Pull plug and rest against the cylinder fins?

I would pop the fuel quick disconnect off the tank and see if what comes out is water instead of gas.

Check your ECU fuse and the plug to your ECU.

Found this
U1301 Serial Data Open/High Carb

Sounds like a possible bad connection maybe at the ECM or elsewhere in the Data line on the bike. Intermittent/bad connection will set these codes.

U1016 Loss of ECM Serial Data, Vehicle Speed, Vehicle Inhibit Motion or Power train Security Status TSM/TSSM

I vaguely remember a thread about disconnecting the plug (can't remember the name) from behind the air cleaner and then try to start it. Sorry, but I hope that jogs some memories for more help.

sure you didn;t get diesel?

seen that a few times.

2.) pull maxi fuse.

disconnect and reconnect ecm plug- or plugs if you have some kind of tuner ( or consider bypassing the tuner and trying with out)




if you are trying to 'check spark" ...be very careful, if your plug is not fully grounded, you may blow up your ignition system

got full power? lights bright?
