Testing sensor on R1
Discussion
Assuming the battery doesn't sort it.
I said it on the other thread taking the piss but in all seriousness have you checked your ignition timing sensor?
Because if that isn't connected or is damaged it will just spin. That said I guess that's the same for most of the related sensors... I'm guessing you're open to random suggestions at this point though!

Like you say would apply to any sensor and the Yamaha is pretty intelligent with its onboard diagnostics to identify those issues.I said it on the other thread taking the piss but in all seriousness have you checked your ignition timing sensor?

Well it runs... although a coil pack decided to throw a fit and log a code #33 error when changing the plugs. Must have been dirty contact as after cleaning and re-seating seems fine.
Di-electric grease to all the connector blocks to keep water / corrosion out. Old plugs were shot as expected ... I chucked in a new set of NGK CR9EK in which are ridiculously expensive for copper plugs ... In fact I can get iridium for same money! Daft...
Need to stick fresh coolant in and then put back together. Battery being delivered tomorrow morning and left to charge all day.

For how long this time?
Glad it's working.

TBH as soon as I started it up I could tell it was much happier... I suspect all these problems have been due to a tired battery. Not issues with sensors, etc... but I saw it as an opportunity to give it a thorough service and check all the loom / connectors and protect them which is worth doing on any bike over a few years old.
Gone are the days of a worn battery meaning it no longer turns the engine over... modern bikes are very fussy about their voltages required to start. Lesson learned.
