ok i have a 02 f4i 600 and i was servicing it when i added a lil too much oil. so i drained it back down to half way and left it alone for the night. this morning i checked the oil and i guess all the oil drained back down from the head. now it sit at the top line and when i try to start it it goes to just above the bottom line but it won't start up. it just keeps cranking over and u can hear it firing but it not enough. now before i changed the oil it ran fine plz help i need my bike running again

check the charge of your battery

oil will have nothing to do with it not starting up.

yeah i have to jump it cause it has been sitting for a long time but when i use to jump it it would fire right up

so youre jumping it right now when you try to start it?


could be fuel pump...is the fuel pump priming at all when you turn the key on?

sirmichaelthe3

yeah pump turns on i think twice i over did cause u could smell alot of fuel so i've let it sit for a lil to let the gas evaporate

???

charge the battery and stop flooding it.


or atleast charge the battery and hold it WOT while cranking so it will clear out the fuel. unless you've fouled out the plugs. in which case you need to pull and clean them, or replace.


how the hell did you pull all this off from just changing the oil?

sirmichaelthe3

well yeah i was changing the oil cause it was looking a lil low and now well as u heard but i think i need to change the plugs too anyways we'll see what happens

???

just a reminder, you check the oil in the sight glass with the bike up stright, not on the stand. and not running. (and not when you first turn it off lol)
