So a few weeks ago I was headed out to the trails when my '10 FE 570 started acting up. I tried to give a sharp throttle input at about 60mph and there was no response. The bike bogged down on me. Took it easy to the trailhead and that's where problems really started. In second/third, the bike started backfiring and bogging down like crazy. I had almost zero power. I could play with the throttle to keep the bike moving, but as soon as I stopped the bike died on me. After waiting for a minute or two she restarted, but was bogging down again until she died and wouldn't re-start. Got a buddy to pick me up in his truck. At his house we dumped the fuel to verify that it wasn't bad gas. We then took some of that gas and dumped it into the throttle body and the bike fired right up, but would die as soon as that fuel had burned off. I finally got the bike home and had a some time to look at it. Tore it apart. Fuel pump has good pressure (CAcyclewerks) and filters were replaced. All lines are clear. I pulled the injector and ran some carb cleaner through it while using a 9 volt to actuate it. Came out nice and clean.
When I put everything back together, bike still wouldn't start. I'm thinking that the injector may not be getting any power from the bike. Anything else I should be looking at or eliminating? I don't believe I'm getting any FI error codes as I've got the shop manual and don't recall seeing anything suspicious upon start up. (I'm assuming the error codes will flash when you hit the starter???)
Thanks in advance guys.
