Hi all, looking for wisdom and advice.
My Bike: 2001 R1150RT-P Mileage= 72.6k
After washing my bike, and being careful not to wet HES sensor area.
Bike started, all be it with some struggle, found it was dead/dying battery, left bike with no battery for couple days till new battery arrived, replaced with new battery, now bike won’t start.
Conditions:
1. Fully charged battery.
2. Fresh fuel
3. Side stand up, neutral, clutch in, kill switch in ‘Run’ position, full RID display {fuel, temp and gear 0], Green Neutral light on in HUD
4. Turned the key on, heard the fuel pump whirr
5. The bike turns over fine, just won't start.
No Spark
6. Used inline spark plug tester – No indication of ‘spark’
7. I pulled the right spark plug and ground it properly ...no spark, repeated for left
8. Checked for 12V at the green wire going to the coils with the key on – All Good
9. Checked black wire in the same plug, didn’t see cyclic ground signal from the motronic when the engine was cranking.
Purchased/waiting on a LED noid light to test above
10. Checked the #5 fuse for the motronic unit (I am sure that is not the right name for it!) and it was good.
11. T.P.S - Checked voltage at pin 2 (has a green/yellow wire going to it). When the key is off I got zero volts. When the key is on, bike in neutral or sidestand up, I got 5V.
12. Did the #5 fuse for ten minutes then did throttle reset, plug wires plugged in coil, made sure all connectors connected....no spark!
No Fuel injector pulse
1. Fuel pump cycles on {Whirr}, on key to “on” position
2. Removed both fuel injectors and separated from fuel delivery hoses, when {Whirring} fuel is delivered under pressure from both fuel lines. “Into bucket”
3. Guessing, fuel pump working correctly
4. Reconnected fuel lines to injectors.
5. Checked voltage at injectors,
a. Green [White] 0v key off – 12v single pulse key to on position, 9v diminishing when cranking
b. Yellow [Grey] 0v key off/on/cranking
c. Green [White] 0v key off – 12v single pulse key to on position, 9v diminishing when cranking
d. Yellow [Grey] 0v key off/on/cranking
Waiting on Noid light to test further
Stumped - hoping it's not the Motrn.
Any and all help greatly appreciated

*** Currently checking HES sensor wiring, seems to be OLD style sheath on wires. ***
HES strikes again
Time to rewire me thinks
I'll rewire, reattach and test.
I'll post outcome
