I'm not sure with an '00, but with newer bikes the warmup enrichment shuts off after about 30 seconds and the IAC closes as it shuts off in steps. My guess would be as the warmup enrichment shuts down the engine isn't getting enough air. That would be particularly true if you're getting black smoke out the exhaust prior to it dieing. I doubt you could read it off the spark plugs though since you're only running 30 seconds at a time.

 

Hum, forgot about the part about the spark. Oh well.

 

once again im at the house, so no e. d. m. here, but with that year i belive its under the seat behind the battery, thier will be one on the left and one on the right, the right side is the fuel pump relay. also when it dies, try to start with out turning the ignition off, and listen for the fuel pump. you should take the voltage at the batery re read the directions and see if you understand.

 

You have been given a lot of good suggestion, so I'm going to jump in here with one more. Check the bank angle sensor located under the left side cover.

 

I had to join this forum just to give that suggestion, but you beat me to it. We had that same problem in our shop and drove us crazy. Actually, we had multiple problems, but that was the elusive gremlin.

 

Sorry for the delay...the whole family has been throwing up for the last week! ....back to getting my bike running! I did exactly as you instructed...(sorry for my confusion before) I get 12 volts between the brownish wire and the positive side of the battery until the bike dies...then it goes to zero.

I have checked out that Bank Angle Sensor but I'm not sure what the voltage should be. I tried unplugging it and then I get the ENGINE light on steady before attempting to start it.

I have a Clymer repair manual...it has an excellent wiring diagram but it doesn't get into specifics about doing testing to identify faulty sensors. (it only tells me how to remove/reinstall them)
Anyone have a good place to get voltage and/or resistance values for testing sensors and the system of the bike?

Thanks for all the help...I'm determined to figure this out!

 

Will the bike start without turning the ignition swith off then on again?

 

Try swapping the ignition and the starter relays around: if the ignition relay is faulty you should now have a STARTING problem. Only BN wire I could find on my schematics is to the right turn signal! If the engine light is on again, you have another code.

 

No. To restart it, I need to turn it back to off...let it sit for 6-8 seconds and then reattempt.

 

I did try swapping the relays...same issue exists. The wire appears sort of brownish but in my schematic it is shown as brown/yellow.

The wire I'm looking at goes from pin "85" of the fuel pump relay to pin 23 of the ECM. I'm certain that I have the right relay and I'm measuring the right voltage.

The engine light comes on when I UNPLUG the BAS. I'm not sure what exact signal it receives but I'm sure a Failed BAS gives a different indication than an Absent BAS. What I'm unsure of is what a failed BAS would read.
