For Honda CBR1000RR starter fluid makes engine fire once then die, I would slow the job down for ten minutes and make the evidence visible. Guessing feels fast, but it usually makes the repair longer.
Keep the original setup in mind. Many faults appear after a small change, and the change is often more useful than the symptom.
This is also the kind of method I teach in the free Motorcycle Mechanics Course here on the platform: observe, measure, confirm, repair, then test again. It is much easier to solve Honda CBR1000RR starter fluid makes engine fire once then die when the process is clear.
If you report back, include the measured values, not only whether it felt better. Numbers make the thread useful for the next rider too.
I have enough to work with now. No heroic parts cannon today, just tests, notes, and hopefully fewer dramatic noises. I like that this turned into a checklist instead of a guessing contest.
