I have a slight issue with my r3, i hope i can resolve it but i need a bit of help since i can't define what the problem is. My 2020 r3 is not starting but everything else is working from lights, headlight, fuel pump. Everything seems fine but the bike won't start. Anyone has an idea?
 
with those symptoms I think you could ether have a fauly ignition or kill switch or a problem with the sparkplugs and the distribution of power to them

it's probaably not the battery. What about the starter and relay>? I assume the killswitch and kickstand sensors are working correctly? Sometimes these can also prevent starting

Take a look at the fuel pump relay,since a bad relay can let everything else operate but still keep it from starting. Also, double-check that the battery voltage is above 11.4V,if it's too low,it can prevent starting even if the lights are working. Occasionally,problems can arise from the side stand or clutch switches if they're not fully engaged, so be sure to check those too. Finally inspect the wiring for any loose or corroded connections. If none of this works,it might be a good idea to bring it to a mechanic.
 
Man, theres a ton of possible causes. Did you feel anything odd a few moments or days before this happened? What happens when you try to start it?
 
There have been a number of reports regarding its main fuse overheating as well as the relay connector thats caused by a loose connection.

Sounds like it could be your starter relay or kill switch acting up. It happened to my bike once or twice before, and it was just crazy. Double check the kickstand sensor too, those things love to ruin your day for no reason.
