Background info: I got the '11 Raven Stryker Cobra FI2000 PwrPro Tuner, PowrFro Air Intake, and 4" slip-on muffler. I think I have read EVERY single thread on here about the auto-tuner and what Cobra is doing to fix the problem. Got it. But my situation is slightly different. I put my accessories on. Rode my bike for +/- 100 yards before it started the sputtering and cut off. It cranked once more since then for 20 seconds then cut off. I have not been able to start it again since then.

My trouble shooting has been to remove each item I intalled one by one attempting to start it each time. I am all the way back to factory setup now and it still won't start. Turns over fine but seems as if it is not getting any spark or maybe it is not getting any fuel. Checked all of the fuses, wire connections, etc.

Now that I am done rambling my question is basic. I read in another thread that a member was having problems starting their bike and it turned out to be the fuel valve was shut off. I can not find that thread nor user anymore and all I want to know is where is the fuel valve? If the Strykers have one, I am pretty sure I have flipped mine a thousand times over screwing with those fuel injector clips....Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Bottom left side of the tank, in the middle.

Look hard. It's really hard to find. I found out the hard way too. Troubleshot everything in the books because I couldn't find a fuel valve, but it was there the whole time.

Thanks so much everyone, I found it.....and wouldn't you know...I took all of my stuff off for no reason....as fate would have it..the fuel valve has claimed another victim. But she's purring like a kitten now (all stock ofcourse, we will see once I put all of my Cobra products back on). ;D

So, does the fuel valve have a history of maybe vibrating itself to off? If ppl don't even know where it is, it is unlikely they would shut it off themselves. I haven't had this problem but I wonder how many others have?

I was wondering the same thing. If you didn't shut it of the how could it git shot of? maybe the work that you did was close to it and without knowing you move it?

Mine turns pretty hard, So I am sure it did not vibrate off.

Speaking of fuel valve, and having just gotten my Stryker, it looks like we don't have a reserve position on it?

 

[11Stryker]

Correct, Your reserve is the auxiliary tank.

If I had to wager a bet on it, I would go all in that the valve was off when I picked it up from the dearlership. I had enough in the aux to get it home and maybe a lap around my neighborhood but thats about it. I just had the bike shipped from the States to Guam so maybe somewhere in between somebody flipped the fuel valve. Its too stiff to have moved by accident....

Hey guys. Just got a motorcycle from dealership, and do not know which position of the valve is open and which is closed?
Perpendicularly to the ground is open, horizontally is closed?

Never mind. I found an answer. I was right about the position.

Other think, should I open/closed each time or just keep it open?
What do you do guys?

 

[raulgarzajr.1311]

Open all the time.

 

[X-enon]

Open all the time.

Thanks!
Gonna be doing the same.

I'd periodically open/close it just so it doesn't stick in the open position. Maybe when you wash the bike or change the oil. Something that is easy to remember.
