    Because it cost the amount of a house for gas in 2022, I’m dusting off my 05 gsxr600 and its been at least 5 years since ive rode it....I haven’t even tried to start it , but I’m sure this video will have come in handy. thanks for the simple explanation and instruction.

    I caught Co-Vid Monday this week. Had Ben riding regularly. Topped off gas last sunday. Today, Saturday I couldn't start my bike, a Yamaha MT-03, 2021. Same sound and inability to start. Less than a week and I wasn't expecting any trouble. Seems h's like I Will need to same process. My thought was either not enough air off not getting gas. Thank you for sharing!!! *****

    Today I have tried to revive my kawasaki ninja 250R that has been sitting inside a garage for seven years, it would crank but not start. I am definitely trying the same trick with the injectors tomorrow after work, thank you very much for posting. 👍

      Did you have to take your abs off or did you work around it because from my perspective it’s impossible to take the fuel rail off with the abs on top

    I'm giving this a shot tomorrow on my Z400, so shouldn't be drastically different from this 300. Same thing, stored three months over the winter, didn't use fuel stabilizer (I've read so much positive and negative info about it, some say it does more harm than good for certain things). Ruled out battery, plugs aren't readily accessible until I tear down a bit under the tank, however new plugs were installed 6000 Km ago last summer. Fingers crossed it's the injectors needing to be unstuck, and I can get everything back together ok. This is first time doing this type of work, I've let the dealership handle it until now (31000km on the Z). I've done my own oil changes, removed rear wheel, etc...

    Hello my friend, Quick question what are those wires/cables you used to test the injector that you connected the battery with ? I’m looking into buying me it.

    Could you not just spray car cleaner down the fuel hose after lifting up the tank? Would that work?

  • @LeanAlgene

    What do you call for the clips you used for the injectors so I can order it too online? I have the same problem on my bike. I just left it for a week. If I tried to hold the starter switch it will eventually runs the machine but when I tried to rev the throttle the engine dies. Will it fix the problem if I did this? My Spark Plugs are also almost new. I Just used it for almost 4000km. Thanks

      They are called aligator clips but you can just use any power lead from standard 240v devices and cut the leads and wire them up

    How long is a long time? 3 months? 6 months? Was the fuel premium or a lower octane?

    • @ShaunNielsen
      @ShaunNielsen  2 роки тому +1

      A fuel injected engine is much more resistant to sitting than a carburetted bike. For a bike with a carburettor I wouldn't leave gas in it for more than 4 weeks. A fuel injected bike can sit for 3 months and still start, but its always best to check the smell of the fuel. if it smells weird, get rid of it. (You'll know what i mean as soon as you smell bad gas). Octane level has no effect.

    Just did this with my ninja 300 after left sitting for a year in ax sun, it would not start I replaced the battery cleaned tank new fuel pump regulator and the injectors made the same noise any ideas? Possibly spark plugs but that seems odd?

    I have a ninja 300 2017 ABS model... i was excited when it looked easy to get to like that... But i have this big block with hard lines running to it and more cables sitting RIGHT above the fuel injectors... I think its the parts to the ABS system... it makes it much much more difficult to get to...

    • @GabooN

    My boss son left his CBR in the temp controlled shop for 10 years with gas in it. He wants to get rid of the bike but it won't start. Is it worth buying it or do you believe I will have big issues with a bike that sat for 10 years in a climate controlled shop?

    I bought a bike that was sitting for 5 years, I put in a new battery because it was missing one. And it started up I rode it up and down the driveway (im a new rider) then parked it again a few weeks later I tried starting it up agin to practice and nothing. Friends suggested new gas, so I drained the old gas and put new gas in it and it’s still not starting. :(

      Try pushing it in gear 1 or 2, as you gain momentum immediately dump the clutch and see if it can start. Most of the time the bike just starts.
