I need help please.

Bike is not starting. turns but not starting most of the time.

I changed:
- Battery
- fuel + fuel lines
- injectors
- spark plugs
- had the ecp reset

Checked:
- Spark
- good ground
- fuelpump
- visual check electric
- tank venting
- clean airfilter

with some starter spray it does start after many tries and then runs perfectly. then it tends to start fine but if i don't start for the few days same issue.

ordered new coils and fuel filter. but i am starting to run out of ideas.

Appreciate some knowledge and clues
 
Please search and read, including the paragraphs in red above... and find the thread on the fuel filter. Odds are if you open the fuel cap, and key on, you'll see fuel swirling. If so, replace the fuel filter.

thank you. not sure which paragraphs u are referring to. can u copy link here?
 
Oh yea that video I already watched before which is why i ordered new fuel filter. do u guys think that my starting problem is connected to the fuel filter?

It acts like a fuel delivery issue. That is why I asked about your waiting for the pump to pressurize the system. The half plastic fuel filters are know to split open as they were made for use with diesel fuel, not gasoline. Usually the failure is catastrophic ( it won't run at all) which makes your situation a little more difficult to diagnose as it will run some of the time.

Cool, thank you, new filter is already in the mail. Will let u guys know once i changed it.

Thank you for now.
 
WTF! here a weird thing: 2 days ago i tried to start it, would not start so i left it. yesterday evening i tried again and it started right up. I did not do anything. just left it. I do not understand.

anybody got a clue?

(filter still in the mail)
 
The start button isn't a straight push in on the V7III. I don't remember if my 2015 was the same but it never gave trouble. The 2017 does from time to time ond won't engage. When this happens I need to put a lot of pressure on the button as it seems to be almost cam like in operation. It always works. Cleaning hasn't worked neither has de-oxit but try anyway.

yea but everything does turn on. and starter turns over just does not start
 
If fuel filter is split or an internal hose issue it will fill up w/gravity while sitting and run a short time when started. It should also quit when out of gas cause it's not being fed by pump.
