[QUOTE="Blue Crab, post: 882261, member: 27288"] I had a similar issue with my Ducati and it turned out to be the fuel pump relays. I'd go to start the bike and she would just keep turning over... no ignition. Eventually, the bike would start. I was told that the fuel injectors could be leaking fuel into the cylinders thus flooding the engine. Then, one day, when I turned the key, I realized that I didn't hear the whir of the fuel pump. And, sure enough, fast starter and no ignition. I turned the key on and off several times (relays were clicking, but no fuel pump whir) until I finally heard the pump whirring away... hit the starter and bam! Started right up. My guess is, that in the past, the contacts would eventually engage due to the vibration of the starter. So, I replaced both fuel pump relays and haven't had the problem since. Could be the same issue with the FJR. Always listen for the whir of the fuel pump before hitting the starter. [/QUOTE]
