Thomas Spagnoli: workshop approach for Yamaha R1 2007 direct battery power makes pump run but engine still no start

Before buying anything for Yamaha R1 2007 direct battery power makes pump run but engine still no start, I would build a small test path. The cheapest repair is often the one where you do not replace a good part.

1. Make the motorcycle mechanically healthy first: compression, valve clearance, plug, filter, fuel delivery, chain/CVT and brakes.
2. Choose changes that match the use case. City scooter, commuter, trail bike and highway bike need different compromises.
3. Confirm legal and insurance rules before derestriction, ECU work, exhaust changes or power kits.
4. Change one thing at a time and keep the original parts until the result is proven reliable.

The best next step is the one that can prove something. A test that only creates another guess is just a more expensive guess.
