Yep, Max is a smart guy....

That will be a quick, easy check to see if the CKP signal is making it to the ECM and the ECM is telling the plugs to spark.....

Thanks, but I could write a book on stuff I have learned from Max... and several others on this forum, too...

Max has experience and knowledge that are well above my pay grade....

It needs gas.. Heck remove the AC and squirt a little gas down the intake.

In no particular order.

Quick disconnect on the bottom of fuel tank. Either the disconnect or the fuel line to the injector manifold.
Plugged fuel filter.
Cracked regulator housing.
Leaky fuel lines inside the tank.
Bad pressure regulator.
Bad fuel pump.
Bad injectors.

IMO if you are serious about working on your bike you need to purchase a fuel pressure gauge. It is important as a DVM or compression tester.
