Greetings,
I just replaced the clutch in my my 2011 RT (62,000 miles) and after reassembly of the RT, it will shut down after approximately 1 second even though it easily starts.
1. GS 911 scan performed today shows no codes.
2. The bike willingly starts and revs up to about 2000 RPM then drops to 700 -800 RPM then quits. all in approximately 1 to 2 seconds. This sequence has been repeated about 8-9 times in the past two days with no changes in the bike behavior. No stumbling when the engine stops - it quits as if the ignition was turned off.
3. Today I removed all the plastic and fuel tank to check wiring connections, fuel tank connectors, cable routing etc. Attempts to restart resulting in the same 1 second run then quit as before.
During the clutch R&R, the aft half of the frame was removed, the gearbox removed, clutch pack / seals replaced. The throttle bodies were displaced and the two electrical connectors on the top of each throttle body were disconnected. The fuel injector and the throttle cable were not disconnected.
Seeing as the bike was running well before the clutch R&R, it is highly likely that something was disturbed or disconnected during the clutch R&R. but today, despite going over each connector and doing the GS 911 scan, I have had no success.
I am hoping that someone else on the forum has resolved a similar issue and can offer me some ideas what to check or do next
Thanks
