I have tried many things to fix my versys which refuses to start. Well I have been able to start it once in 20 attempts maybe, but most of the time the battery lose its charge.
However, interestingly enough, once started, it runs pretty well. Go figure.
Here what it does
What I have attempted so far not in a particular order:
1-changed spark plugs,
2-changed oil and oil filter - cleaned air filter and air box,
3-checked valve clearances (twice),
4-checked spark plug coil resistances (ok - coils cracked),
5-checked crankshaft sensor signal (ok),
6-changed crankshaft sensor anyway (for a used one);
7-checked wiring (actually found a few exposed wires around the gas tank and under the seat, fixed);
8-changed ECU for a used one (I really thought it was the issue as it started right after,but problem reappeared)
9-changed one-way starter clutch for a newer one (it actually reduced the nasty noise)
10-Ran the diagnostic but did not find significant info.
11-Changed and charged the battery many times.
If you have a good idea what could be the issue please chime in!
(I have bought and old DR650 - which I like a lot - as I could not find the issue with the Versys, but honestly, the V is irreplaceable:grin2
Cheers!
