Good morning. I have an 05 F650GS single with just over 41K that had been sitting for a month or so (on a battery tender) and won’t start. Hoping for some guidance or help with diagnosing the problem. Battery is strong. Bike turns over but simply won’t fire. Bike has fresh fuel, has a spark. So far, I have checked the fuel pump and it is pushing fuel to the line. If I spray a bit of carb cleaner into the throttle body via the air intake, the bike fires right up and runs perfectly fine. Took it for a quick test ride and no issues running or idling. Turn it off, try to start it again and same problem - turns over but won’t fire up. I pulled the injector and cleaned it. In doing so, I also tested it to see if it is spraying any fuel when I turn the key and kill switch to on but nothing. So, thinking that the injector may be the problem but then again, seems unlikely since the bike runs just fine once it starts (with a shot of carb cleaner to get it going). Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
