I recently stripped down my '01 R6 in order to trouble shoot an ignition problem. I found that the throtle position sensor was giving off bad readings so I cleaned it in Acetone. Anyway, so i pop the sensor back on and adjust it, then hook up all the other conectors i unhooked; air box on, fuel tank, and all that. I crank it and it sounds all right. But then i rev it up to 6 thousand twice and on the second time the engine turns off! WTF? The engine will still turn over till im tired of turning it over, but there is no spark. I tested all the coils and they are all at 10.5k ohms to the chassis and the individual wires all check out properly to the cdi unit. The pickup coil reads ok(though I have no idea how to check if the signal is being sent). The cutoff relay tests bad but it tested bad before I cranked it so im not sure the manual has the right test info, and I can here it click open and shut when i raise/lower and pull/release the kickstand/clutch. Not to mention I can turn the engine over. This has me stumped, so I was hoping someone here had a clue as to why my bike won't give me spark all of a sudden.

Did you adjust the TPS back to it's proper posistion using the tach as a guage?
Yes. The fuses are fine too.
check the fuel line for a kink in it. I had this same problem with my gixxer and the fuel line was kinked where u put the gas tank on. It would start but as soon as u revved it, it died.
Unfortunately its not a fuel problem. There is no spark at the coils. I ran the battery dead twice testing everything and the whole time i only saw a spark on like 4 outa 30 times i turned the engine over. Is it possible for the cutoff relay to allow the engine to turn over but keep the cdi from firing the plugs? If not I think it may just be the cdi gone kaput.
The starting circit cut-off relay has a few different functions and components. There are 2 relays and a few diodes that are in the same housing. Just because you hear the relay clicking that controls the starter relay dosen't mean the other relay or diodes aren't shot.

That said, check for good continuity between the Be/Y and Be/B wires when you turn the ing. switch on, before you trash the CDI. Also, does your neutral light work?

I'm working off of a 99-00 print, but I'm pretty sure the safety circut stuff is the same with the 01-02 model also.
Yeah, everything works except the making of sparks.
Well then, if your sure evrything is good (even though you say the safety relay tests bad?), you can jump the Be/B wire going into the CDI box to ground. This will bypass most of the saftey circut functions.

Is Be/B beige black or what? One thing thats been diff while working on this is figuring out their color codes. Is there a table somewhere showing the codes and corresponding colors? And what would be the best way to jump this wire to ground without fucking things up?
Hmmm.... Im looking at the circiut diagram for the ignition system and I dont see a be/b wire.

Sorry, Yamaha uses "L" for blue.

Anyway Be/B = Blue with a Black tracer (stripe).
Did you figure out the issue?

Are you still a member and does that really work with these yamaha bikes can we jump a wire to bypass the safety relays? I'm currently dealing with this same issue! Everything works no spark so if this method worked I can start looking for the issue if it doesn't then idk maybe cdi? 🤷

I meant to ask if you were still a member lmao my bad and does this really work?

I actually did what year is urs? I thikk the previous owner wrecked it and there's a sensor that needs reset or it was one if my other safety sensors were stuck but im pretty sure it was the tip sensor when ur bike falls on its side it cuts off from a sensor. I'm not even sure if that was my issue. What I did was I found that wire there talking about grounding the blue with black line I jumped that to ground then all of sudden boom I had spark . Now I removed it and it still worked so I'm not sure witch one safety sensor it was . Hope this helps u .

Hey did you un pin the wire from the connector and grounded to somewhere or did you cut the wire? Or what did you do

Had the same issue, crank no start. Grounded the blue/black wire . Fired right up!
