Resolved: Do not power wash your bike. Something was wet. Dried over night. Started first time this afternoon after spending some quality time drying out in a warm garage.
------------
Sure i submitted a post here... Anyway, let's try again...
Short version: Everything seems to work, but no spark in plugs.
Bike wont start (1998 5DM). I get a fuel and oil warning light when i hit the starter button.
I did a little jet washing earlier to get the winter goop off of it, spent some hours cleaning and painting etc. Looks great, goes nowhere.
Didn't go nuts with the water: No more than horizontal to the engine, all seems dry under the tank. Had to blast under the rear arch to get the caked gunk out, blasted around the swingarm etc.
Checks made so far:
- In neutral
- Kickstand connectors connected
- Checked connector bundle under tank - all fine and dry
- Checked battery - Good, dry
- Checked fuses - Good, dry
- Kill switch disengaged
- Fuel in tank
- Oil in engine (very recently changed)
So far, all that is certain is that the plugs aren't sparking. Even with a fresh plug. No spark.
Maybe it'll dry out whatever i've probably gotten wet overnight. Maybe i got a bit of water into the electronics under the rear fairing somehow (didn't have time to check there, but under the seat is dry etc)
Here's a quick mockup:
Help appreciated.
Probably getting look at professionally tomorrow, but would be nice to go in armed with likely causes which would drastically shorten time on bench.
