Hey guys i am new here and have a problem with my 2006 636 ninja that isnt starting. I have had this sitting over the winter and went to start it the other day, I noticed the battery was dead so I got it push started and relaized it wasnt wanting to run. It was idleing rough. I figured bad gas so I let it run for about 5 minutes came back and noticed the bike was at 260 degrees so i turned it off. Over the weekend I got it in the garage and charged the battery. I noticed it was very low on fuel, almost empty. I thought maybe I let it run empty and I might have air in the lines. I put new fuel in the tank and still nothing. It would crank but no start. It almost felt like it was trying to start though. From here I replaced the spark plugs and still the same thing. I checked the fuses and they were all good. I pulled the tank and checked to see if fuel was coming from the pump and it was. I didnt pressure test it though. I pulled the air filter cleaned it, and also sprayed ether in the airbox and it started. From here I am confused on what the issue could be. Any suggustions?

 

First of all Welcome to KF

This has to be a typo 260 degrees?

Ok, the engine turned over and started using either. So no more useage of that.

If you are correct on that temp, I would be checking the stat and fan circuit. Not sure if the ecu would need to be reset or what. I need to look. and no FI codes?

 

ok, test your water temp sensor and test your gauge per 16-95 of your factory manual.

or even check the connector to see if it is loose.

You do have a manual right?

ECU resistance- 68 F 2.46kohm terminals 1-3
176 F .32k ohms
230 F .1426k ohms

 

I do not have a manual, I plan to get one this weekend. when I got the bike to start the first it was after I pull started it durer to a dead battery. It was running rough so I let it run for about five minutes and seen it was overheating so I turned it off. I do believe it got to 260. I checked the coolant and it was a little below the low line. I figure it was just low on coolant. Once I got it to the garage I couldnt get it to stay running on its own. This is when I used the ether to get it started. So I do not believe its getting fuel. Possible fuel filer, pump or injector.

 

You can check in the General Discussion for manuals for your ride as well.

 

Welcome ddoug. Um, how long have you owned your bike? Like Drag suggests^, best to get a manual for reference.
