G'day all,
I've got an issue with my 2006 Gen II where the bike will crank over, try to start (hear it begin to fire), but it will not start without throttle.
And then when it does have throttle, it will run semi-okay, until I let go of the throttle and then it dies straight away.
When getting the bike to run under throttle, it is running super rich to the point your eyes start burning.
The bike is running a few small mods such as PCV, Akrapovic exhaust, AIS delete, K&N filter
So far I have checked:
Bike was running completely fine before I attempted to install the Auto Tune unit for PCV, I did move the bike and not let it fully warm up before attempting to fit it. So I suspected the engine may be flooded, but I would have thought all fuel would be gone from when I've run it with the throttle.
Any help you guys can provide I would be super thankful for, this has been driving me nuts!

So far I have checked:
- Spark/coils - all 4 are sparking fine
- The plugs - cleaned and in good order
- All fuses I can find - ignition, fuel pump relay, starter relay, main relay etc.
- The therowax valve - cleaned and lubed with WD-40
- All electrical connections under the tank
- Fuel pump - is definitely getting fuel to the engine as you can smell it coming out the exhaust, plus plugs come out wet
- Diag mode - has shown code 12 (crankshaft position sensor) but has been cleared and not shown again, also tested crank position sensor resistance and is in normal values
- The map on the PCV - tried several such as a zero map, map with mods and then the map my bike came with again
- PCV firmware upgrade
- Probably some other stuff I've forgotten about
