GSX-R Fuel Injection Worries

Hi all,
My GSX-R750 has developed an annoying habit of not initializing its
fuel injection system. When I turn the ignition key it makes a few
whirry noises as usual, but not all of them. I'm guessing the fuel pump
isn't doing much on these occaisons. Its only happened a couple of
times, but starting up before coming home from work today required
turning the ignition on and off 3 times...

When it happens the temp guage displays 'FI' and the lamp on the
'tacho flashes. According to the manual this means there is summat
wrong with the FI and I should visit my nearest Suzuki dealer and hand
over large amounts of cash.

Just wondering if anyone else has had similar problems?

For what its worth, its a 2003 (k3) model.

 

I get hte same on my Gixxer, sadly it's not very well at all now.

 

This used to happen on my 2000 model (the first of the new shape -
GSX-R750Y).

I never got it sorted as it happened so infrequently.
Still you ought to get yours checked out as it'll be under warranty, surely?

 

That's still under warranty, go shout at them.

 

I wish mine was still under warranty :-(. The dealer reckon I abuse
it.

 

Mine is for another 10 days.

He's probably right.

 

My 'Y' model did the same occasionally, normally when the alarm was set to
'ping' mode....

It never caused a problem and I assumed was just a wiring thing......

But if your bike is under warranty take the fecker back. Whatever the niggle
*take_it_back*" You paid money for something that works so if it don't then
they owe you. Full stop.

TBH, they should be able to take that abuse, I do bounce it off the
rev limiter quite frequently though. Perhaps that's not so good.

 

It's cos your legs are too small to reach the gear lever. Should be easier
with platform heels and will ease the strain on first gear.

 

I was joking, they should take that abuse.

I actually hit the rev limiter on mine the other day in 2nd. The
speed I was going fair shocked me.

Shocked the bloke in the Porsche as well.

 

When I was doing a FOF I hit the rev limiter in 5th. Darsy and co had
turned off at the next junction and I just blasted ahead. They had to
wait for me to get back.

 

I'll remember that. Come to think of it I don't like platforms.

 

You're so fast, you're slow.

 

But oddly reticent to state whether faster than Bear or not.

 

Only one way to be sure: A game of chicken from one end of the M1 to the
other.

 

I know. But..
