KLX250s WFI model - No spark
Hello guys, I have my bike stopped for 3 months without knowing what to do more. I am desperate, really.
I have a KLX250 s EFI model, from 2010. (Europe version). My bike doesn't have O2 sensor and side stand sensor since I got it. Never had problems. Chronology of events:
Now: On turning on the ignition I can hear all the usual relay clicks, but not the little whine of the fuel pump priming. On starting, bike turns over sharply but won't fire. No spark at plug. Tested the coil off the bike, no probs. Any ideas? *EDIT: should've mentioned, with ignition on there are no warning lights, but when turning the engine over on the starter the FI light flashes on/off. |
The no start when hot does sound like a failing coil, I have seen that before.
Not sure if the EFI version had a separate CDI but on a carbed bike I'd suggest switching to a known good CDI to troubleshoot. AS it's EFI it could well be the crank sensor/pulse generator. |

The measure I got from the second winding was 0,6 (and should be 0,17/0,23) but this may well be because of the reading error so I don't know. I will try to check the crank sensor and cdi |
Your coil measurements with dmm sound good to me. When touching the probes together you read the resistance of the probes and test leads. When you take the coil readings and subtract that your are in the ballpark.
The symptoms may fit a bad pulse sensor or connection issue. The EFI computer won't know it is not getting pulses until you start turning the engine over so that is when it would show an error or failure. If the EFI doesn't know where the piston is it won't fire the plug. Not sure about your not hearing the fuel pump running. There may be something else suspect to look into. Good Luck. |

Do you know any failure that makes the ECU turn off the pump? |
low battery

Why do you say that? I checked with my multimeter and is always above13v. When I eventually discharge the battery (because of trying to start it with no success) I promptly recharge it.
I checked my battery, and when I push the start button, the voltage drops to 10/11v, but then stabilizes in 11,5 +/-. Is it good, or the battery could be dead? |
11.5 volts while cranking the starter should be good.
I don't have info on your model so it is hard to be specific. A bank angle sensor (vehicle down sensor) would prevent the fuel pump from running at all. You could have wiring or relay failures cause that also. The EFI can stop it. You may want to do some electrical troubleshooting to get started. Hopefully you have a schematic of your model. |

This is a video I made with the problem, at the time I could start the bike when cold, but after turning it off she never started again. |

try giving this a read and see if it helps you may have a bad wire to one of the sensors, maybe look up a wire diagram and check the wires to them. ps when cranking your battery sounds a little on the weak side( low cranking amps) |
