2002 VFR800. starts over but then dies after one second.

can anybody help me? the engine turns over, ignition is sticky and then dies after like one second. maybe the fuel cut off relay?

 

You don't have water in the tank do you??. Make sure the tank is venting right.

 

Do you hear the fuel pump priming when you turn the key to the on position?

Rollin

 

No no water in the tank. how do i get if its getting vented? im a new rider and have no experience working on bikes. and the fuel pump did turn over. but now it doesnt. it doesnt even start anymore. just cranks. clicking from starter.

 

alright! my bike is running again. thanks for your help!

 

Any idea what solved the problem... for the edification of other members?

 

The relay under the seat next to the battery. i like spliced the wires and took off the red plastic terminal connector and directly connected the wires to the corresponding terminal. idk the correct terminology. basically the wiring was faulty on the green wire. just spliced it and gave it a new connector. i think the green wire is for the fuel pump. hence the bike dying after one second. only got the initial first turn. pretty much all electrical problems. just need to make sure connections were clean and with good contact. hope that clears it up. if anybody has the same problem i think its not the fuel cut off relay... i replaced that with like any one of the 4 or so starter relays didnt do anything.

 

also make sure battery is fully charged. that screwed me over
