Dead Bike

[Kimptos]

Hi guys,

I took my '05 Buell XB9SX Lightning out for a spin last week and i felt something odd in the throttle and I need your help to figure this one out. Started up fine with a bit of handle twist, then idled @ less than 1000rpms and when i give it gas it seemed to chuckle a bit (nearly choking out), then the revs finally do go up as they should do. (i haven't tps reset yet)

When riding it it felt like there was no real power to it.

Tried to start it yesterday and today and now it plain won't start... It turns but it never fires. Fuses are all ok. I added pictures of hoses and wires i discovered to be unhooked or odd looking

Please advise, thanks for your time!

That hose with a wire tie is fine...that is the the one breather tube from the primary/trans IIRC and is OE. As for your no start. Search the forum using the search tab. Does fuel pump prime? (You should hear it run for about 2 sec. when the ign key AND kill switch is in 'run' positions. Plugs are supossed to be notoriusly bad for this, though I've not had any issues with that. Bottom line....check the basics that are covered through MANY threads on here. IF you run out of options at that point or need help getting through any procedures, I'm sure "we" can help you through it.
