Well, this one is a strange one. (pop is defined and 1 cylinder firing)
The bike is 1.6 miles into the reserve. I am getting ready to go to church and hit the start button
crank crank crank crank pop crank crank crank. Oh oh.
Hmmm. Lean bike to right, switch key off and on 3 times maybe I got air in the fuel system.

Stand bike straight up, cycle switch off and on several times again. Fuel pump might be running a little long, might not. Either way it sounds OK, no unusual tones the the pumps wine. Try again.

Gotta go. Go into back yard, get Ninja 250 that has been homesteading in my garage for the past 6 months for everything from loud knocking to not idling, it belongs to a friend of a friend, I don't even know who owns it. Ride it to church.
When I get back, I start looking at what's up with Silver. Start by adding a gallon of gas, just in case and putting it on the charger.

What's this? Screen shows a 14 not the time it has been cranking slow I wonder what the 14 means, but the clock hasn't reset so my voltage can't have dropped to low. Let us go consult the wonderful wizard of google, right after I disconnect the battery and reattach the charger.
"Mr Google? What is a 14 code on my FJR mean?"
(large flames! loud thunder!)
"Your intake manifold air pressure sensor in not reading as expected. Your FJR is ABLE to start, your FJR is ABLE to drive."
"But Mr. Google sir, it won't start at all.
(LARGER FLAMES!!! LOUDER THUNDER!!!)
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
Go back out re-connect the battery crank... no change. I'll call my buddy and ask to borrow his Concourse to go to work Monday (Last Friday my truck broke down too). five minutes after that, I think to put it into DIAG mode. Crank crank crank crank pop crank pop pop crank pop vrooom! OH WTF YOU ROTTEN BEAST!!!
Now it starts fine. I hope you ll enjoyed the read. Now, any ideas? Any at all...
