I have a 2000 K1200RS, This bike has had all its scheduled mainenance done at the dealership. now I strugle ust to pay bills and am having an issue with the bike. I rode this bike yesterday as I always do and had no problems. i went to go ride it today and it would not start. Turn on the key, the fuel pump does it's thing, crank it over and no start?? just cranks over but wont start. can someone give me an idea as to where to start the troubleshooting, - has this happened to anyone else? how do you fix it.

Thx...

first thing to determine:

does the fuel pump cycle when you turn the key to 'run'
Yes, The fuel pump cycles as it should, all the instrument lights that normally would come on still do. everything still works as it always did with the exception that the engine will not start. it cranks over and no start. My 1st guess would be the no spark (ignition control modual or coil maybe). But I am more of a car mechanic then a bike mechanic. I know the princibles are the same or similar, but I have never had to really work on the bike before, as I always took it to the dealer..

what I have done.

OK all - alot of good things to look @.. I pulled the skins to expose the tank and such. I do have spark, I did clean the plugs, I do have fuel but dont think I am getting enough of it. There were a few times I fired but still didnt start. when the plug were out and after disconnecting the coil I cranked it over and it appeared that fuel anly came out of the1st few cylinders less from #2 and hardley from #3 and none that I cld see from #4. - even though the fuel pump cycles could it not be enough pressure, I cant find a valve to hook a pressure guage to.

It is fixed and running again.

ok you ready for this, - who was it taht saidthe furl lines in the tank may have popped off. that was exactly the issue. the fuel line popped of right after the fuel filter so the fuel was just pumping right back into the tank. rather then to thge fuel rail.. the issue is resolved. thanks everyone.
