yes when i got it it was never on there

a simple compression test is remove the spark plug, put thumb or finger over the hole in the head and turn/kick the bike over. if it has any compression you will not be able to keep the hole covered on the compression stroke....

oh wow thanks for the advice
|
just to be clear
i went all the way to Chattanooga from Knoxville no issue on my way back my bike just shut off out of nowhere after about 60 seconds to 2 mins it would start right back up and idle just fine when i put it in gear it still would idle fine it wasn't until i hit the throttle did it die back out i had to tow it home once i got it home it would do the same thing but better as long as i kept the rpms low it would go to 5 gear and ride after a while that didn't work it started shutting off anytime i gave it gas and still would start back up after 60 sec and idle just fine one day i tried to low throttle it to the store it didn't make it on my way back home and changed the oil it continued to shut off with throttle the neighbor came and asked what was wrong i told him he told me to unplug the o2 sensor i did it wouldn't start i plugged it back in it still wouldn't start and hasn't started since and the only thing i could think of that i did was let my friend put automatic transmission fluid in it and upgraded the gas i was using thats why im confused since then i have only changed the spark plug because i wasn't getting a spark the engine would crank but not turn over i could feel air come out the plug hole and smell gas and ive checked fuses and cords the only thing i haven't done was a valve adjustment and i only used it for transportation never off road so i dont understand whats wrong

Check your kill switch to make sure didn't accidentally turn it on.

Lol that's the first thing I did

The symptoms you describe, that it started but died when you twisted the throttle over and over, sounds like a throttle position sensor problem (EFI), but could be something else. I don't know if you have a throttle position sensor on the EFI Hawk, but if it started fine, then died when you twisted the throttle, valves might be tight but that clearly wasn't the issue (but you still should set them). I have a TPS on my TDI diesel and my 1.4L turbo Jetta (gasser). My interpretation- now that you clarified that it DID start, but died when you twisted the throttle repetitively, is that this is yet another mysterious EFI fail. I am out of my wheelhouse here. Speak to the EFI wizards. |
After 10 hours straight of research today what do you think about the fuel pump being messed up and it did sputter before I cut off so some type of throttle positioning sensor or something sounds pretty close and I have never adjusted the valves

Thanks for all your positive advice you guys are super helpful if it was a simpler bike I would have had fixed by now and probably upgraded with all the information I received
|
Someone on Reddit mentioned the CDI that seems pretty plausible to me also what do you guys think
