Help please, 08 R3T not starting

[barbagris]

Long shot but - are you sure the right low tension coil leads go to each coil and they are on good and tight?. Ditto High tension.

Never heard of anybody getting this wrong on an R3 - but have seen a few other bikes where the electricity pixies have mixed them up.

so something had to happen during the time everything was removed for pulling the valve cover or swapping out to the RamAir.

What was on before the RAMAIR? - RamAir AIT extension wires connected properly?, MAP sensor hoses kinked or mixed up? - the hoses are different lengths and the ECU knows this.

Just checked compression and only have 15 psi on all cylinders, zero with the throttle open (secondaries at 95%). I left all the other plugs in and disconnected the coil primaries per direction on other threads. What did I screw up?

Valve shims or cam timing, assuming pistons head gasket etc weren't touched
Or maybe the compression test itself

Manual doesn't say the compression spec, but i got 200psi / 14 bar on mine

Stock airbox and filter previously. The extension only hooks up one way, not sure how to test the AIT sensor to verify operation. I didn't take off the MAP sensor hoses, just reconnected the sensor after removing the plenum. All of the hoses and connections seem fine. Any way to test them? The manual doesn't give any resistance numbers. I did try swapping the coil primaries around just for giggles but no change. The red wire is inboard.

AIT wires - Mutlimeter. Just in case there is a dry joint in there. Hard to see how with JPT conectors but.......

15psi - 1 bar - valves or rings are not sealing properly,

Relocating the map sensor CAN kink a hose. Kinked means no readings. But the compression is a bit of a give away.

I have triple checked the valve clearances and they are right on. There are photos of the cam and crank marks on the first page. I'm at a loss to explain how the symptoms are possible with the timing accurate. I couldn't have bent valves in all three cylinders and it turns over by hand easily.

Incorrect my friend I'm afraid, the 3 throttle body vacuum tubes are actually very close, ~255mm.
They just look different coz they is bent

But the length is quite indeed critical to vacuum pulse timing ime

Hmm - have you tried

**** these second hand eyes!.

I'm the one with the problem. Here are some photos of the cam and crank timing marks as those are the obvious suspects. Helpful tip for anyone that doesn't have the cam jig: Micrometer jaws will fit in the cam holes and one tooth off would be obvious. I used a straight edge to line up the arrows to eliminate any optical illusions. The crank sprocket dot was missing so I had to use the dots on the crank itself.

There are several threads on the subject of the crank sprocket missing the alignment dot and having to use these dots instead:
