2013 1199 went for a ride came home parked it for the night wouldn't start the next day. It turns over fine. Battery is good and charged. Pulled plug wire and I get no spark to the plug and it seems like my fuel pump won't shut off as well along with a clicking sound from one of the relays on left side of bike
 
Explain how your fuel pump won't shut off. As in it keeps making noise past the normal priming? If that's the case, I'd think you have a fuel pump problem.
 
The fuel pump is bran new maybe 20 miles on it. What would be the reason for no spark. And yea it makes noise past normal priming plus the clicking relay
 
You probably have bad battery. Hook jump starter to the existing battery, this is to further diagnose your issue and to eliminate one suspect component, also make sure your power and ground cables are tight on the battery and ground cable to the engine block.
Go from there...
 
buddy i just had a issue with my ducati not starting and solved it 600$ later, the pick-up sensor in the upper left corner of stator cover has to be exactly in the right spot, if its off by 1/1000 of a inch, your ecu will not send a signal to start a spark,
my mistake was i put a gasket on i bought from amazon, if you did so, remove it and send it back to the ........ because these bikes are not designed for gasket seals, try removing some shims as well, if need be, try adding shims

the clicky relay made me curious about the available voltage.

on the p-car transaxle series, (924-944-968) the refrence and speed sensor gap is 0.8mm.

That's why I told him to hook up jump start pack and go from there.
 
I'm not working on a porsche although I do own a 88 944T. My battery is new I just tested it at 12.7 volts.
This is my bike I'm talking about that won't start.
 
My voltage is 12.7 and this sensor is on the block and it's adjustable I gather?
I shall go out and take a look at it right now.
I'll let you know what I find THANK YOU
 
I was hoping someone had a manual for the 1199 or knows the proper sensor gap.

12.7 is plenty to get the relays to engage.


edit....measure the resistance of the sensor while your in there.

Well im not exactly sure what I did but I got it running. I mean I disconnected every wire on left hand side of bike. Checked for cracks breaks and bad or not connected fittings and put it all back together VOILA it fired right up.
Now the scary thing is I don't have a clue as to what I fixed cause it all looked fine to me
 
Probably something that was loose that was tightened back up when you reassembled it.

One of the most mysterious problems I've chased was a loose engine ground on an 1984 Toyota Corolla after changing the clutch.
 
Quick question for you. I tried tightening my chain today with no luck when I roll the hub forward it gets real loose and backward tightens and at a point it just doesn't turn anymore right?
