06 GT keeps stalling

[Pureadrenaline]

Today after riding approximately 25 miles we stopped to fill up my rev after that we continued riding. About a mile later my pop's 06 GT died with no warning. He tried to start it back up and it wouldn't start, but the engine and bottom warning light flashed. We waited a few minutes and it started back up, but while we were getting dressed it died again. Tried to start it again and nothing, waited 30-40 seconds and it fired back up. It would run for around 100 feet and die, we were able to limp it back to the gas station like that and called someone to come pick it up. While we waited we added some dry gas and kept starting it and letting it run. That didn't seem to help at all so we loaded it in the back of the truck and brought it home.

I was thinking it might be the fuel relay, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

For the first time ever my rev is running right(knock on wood) and now the Apex dies.

Check make sure connections are good and tight at the battery.check to see if your charging also.did it run good for the 25mi your pops was on it?

Just replaced the battery with a brand new one, connections were nice and tight two days ago. The sled ran great for the first 25 miles, it did however backfired a couple times yesterday(we finally got enough ride-able snow yesterday).

I also just changed the old CR10EK plugs with 4 new ones. Sled has about 2500 miles on it.

Backfired at idle ,on the gas ,off the gas ? put it up on stand and start it up ,give it throttle see if it cuts right out like someone hit the kill button ,or fades and dies. check donuts also.

 

[Pureadrenaline]

Backfired while just starting to get on the gas. It only happened 2-3 time yesterday.

When it happened today it was like he accidentally hit the kill switch(his first thought).

Are the exhaust donuts in good shape. if it will stay running plug exhaust with hands,if good it will stall out in a few sec,if not donuts are shot.hard to pinpoint the issue without being there in person..codes still on dash.

 

[Pureadrenaline]

I haven't seen any codes come up, just the two warning lights flashing.

I meant the flashing lights..does it have engine oil? how was it running before this all happened.it may say in the service manuel that is not here at the moment..sorry

Crusty ground blocks?

When it starts the flashing lights go away, they only come on when it doesn't want to start. It will keep cranking and wont fire. Then give it a couple moments and it will fire right up like there is nothing wrong.

Plenty of oil, I did a oil and oil filter change a few weeks ago.

Yesterday we rode about 30 miles and other than the couple backfires in the driveway before we left it ran great.

The all-too-common cause for electrical gremlins: http://ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=83 ... cks+solder

These ground blocks tie maybe a dozen or so individual ground wires back to battery ground and can have corrosion in the block terminals. Get an exacto cut open the electrical tape wrapped around them an have a look see.

try wiggling the harness while someone else cranks usually makes finding those pesky ground problems straight forword also double check that you didn't disconnect the cyl select sensor on top of the head

 

[Pureadrenaline]

All three ground blocks looked good(does the cover come off the small black one?) and double checked the battery connection.

Ordered a new relay($20

), even if it's not the problem at least I will have a spare.

cycle select sensor looks good(or what I am assuming is the cycle select sensor).

also check to make sure the throttle body boots are not torn.
