I have had this bike for 5 days and its already causing me to go bald. My latest problem is i cant get her to start, at all. Yesterday she fired right up, i let her warm up, then before i could leave the parking lot she died and i couldn't get her fired back up. I thought i had flooded it leaving the choke on and my battery just went dead trying to fire it back up but i'm not so lucky. I pulled and cleaned the plug and put in on the charger. No luck, she just began to pop but not fire. I was hoping that i hadn't given it enough time so i left it over night, 24 hours later the same thing. I disconnected the battery maybe to reset the computer, no change. I actually risked hot starting it with carburetor cleaner behind the air filter and directly in the head still just occasional POP's, sometimes the computer will cut out and it'll still crank. I bought this bike with 330 miles on it, still the break in oil in it, and a bad battery. I drained the oil though the bottom plug which i consequently rounded out. I tried to find a plug and was told not only should i not drain the oil there, as my instructions clearly tell me, but i would have to wait 2 weeks to replace it. Having just got it i was able (willing) to replace it with a Volvo plug. So far so good but i had noticed that my oil pan had a slight leak, the oil i had just put in the bike in the night before had leaked by maybe a quarter quart, so i ran black rtv down the casing and it seems to be holding. There are no dealers within a 2 1/2 hour drive and i have no experience with these fuel injection systems. If i have to take the drive i will but i dont get a weekend for 2 weeks and i haven't even put 50 miles on it yet. I need help or at least something to try. I haven't done the power-up kit yet though i have it. Maybe ill drain the gas it could have water, maybe. Ive been trying all different combinations of choke on, off, decompression swith open, closed. I have no idea, sometimes the fuel light flashes but...I am going crazy here. Anything-anything-anything will help.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
2010 510 Smr Refuses To Start.

Best starting technique is:
Fast idle pulled out
Ignition on
Pull the clutch in (reduces load on the starter)
Push the start button with your finger (this avoids the temptation to twist the throttle when pushing button with your thumb)
If the bike is right it should start.
They really don't like the throttle being twisted when starting but do like a fully charged battery and good fuel.
Hope this works!

Sorry to hear about the 510
Take first things first
Can you hear the fuel pump run when you turn on the key
and the kill button is out
If you hear the pump then pull the plug and lay it against the cylinder
with the plug wire hooked up and crank it over and see if you have spark
Let us know whats up i am sure you will sort it out with the help from this site.

Pretty sure Bill from Bill's Husky told me sometimes holding the throttle wide open when cranking will make it fire. I did this a few times when my bike was in the break in phase and it would fire right up. FWIW, I don't even use the fast idle button to start anymore, she just fires right up (1000 miles now).
The gas in bike is full and new. I pulled the plug again checked it for any fouling and pulled the o2 sensor and cleaned it. The fuel pump does prime and she'll still crank and sound like it'll fire but wont. The only thing that i can think todo is replace the plug anyway. My roommate has a honda 919 with fuel injection, not being too mechanical, he warns me of frying the electrical with the trickle charger and the jumper box i had hooked up. He brought up the possibility that the placement oil drain plug may be too long and blocking a oil pickup, its longer by about 1/4" to maybe 1/2", is there anyway that is possible? Im sure if i keep working on it with no real idea what is wrong i'll do some damage so i made an appointment with tri-county powersports for next weekend. Any other ideas till then?

You have spark and compression the only other thing
i can think of is if your TPS is out of wack it wont start
I took mine Smr and set the TPS out of calibration today
and it would not start it just sat there and popped a little
then i recalibrate the TPS and it fired right up.

Got the bike back from George today. Apparently it was full of bugs. He swapped out my battery for a better quality one, did the lamda plug swap, reseated the fuel pump and apparently the rubber on the intake had come undone which might have been the problem that actually kept it from running. $450 later got it home tried to fire it, wouldnt fire, out of gas. Top it off rode it for ten minutes and me being the brain surgeon hit the decompression lever killing it, it wont refire - battery too dead. Get it home stick it on the jump box, fires right up. Let it idle/let it charge rode it for 25 miles pulled off the freeway, on the on-ramp dies. Cannot fire, get it home stick it on the jump box fires up un-hook jumper leads, runs 1 minute then dies. The magneto isn't charging is my guess. Good news 405 miles. I guess i'm calling George in the morning.
