[QUOTE="waynevb, post: 1453171, member: 98703"] The first video sounds like a problem I had with my bike. I only had the bike a few days and it fell over and left a huge dent in the fuel tank. I bought a used tank, minus fuel pump. Transferred the parts over and starting the bike became a PITA. The starter would spin and it would eventually start but wouldn't idle and would only keep running by blipping the throttle. A few FJR FAQs (all junk information) implied that the bike needed a full start/run cycle for the ECU to calibrate. So after blipping and running for over an hour, the silencers were glowing hot (weak mixture?). I had the bike towed to a local shop and after a day, they found the problem. It was the seat/seal of the fuel pump assembly. Anyone who has pulled these apart knows that it's a snap fit. Mine wasn't seating correctly and the injector lines weren't getting enough pressure. I was impressed with these guys! Not saying this is the OPs problem but with a fully charged battery, spinning the engine should get the SOB started. [/QUOTE]
