So I recently acquired a 05 xb9r fire bolt. Problem is that it’s flooding the throttle body with gas as soon as I turn the key on. Fuel pump turns on , I open the throttle body to see in side and it’s a river of gas pouring in. I changed the plugs , wires but it will not fire up but I’m assuming because it’s flooding. I just drained the oil and there’s gas in there as well. Any ideas what I need to do next? check , replace ? I just bought the buelltooth and there’s no error codes.
Thanks in advance for your help
Wait ... what?
You see “a river of gas” pouring down the intake and your first thought is to replace the plugs and wires???
This is a joke right?
You obviously realized the “river of gas” wasn’t right, but then...
Seriously, you’re kidding, right?
Well, if that didn’t solve the problem, the bike is screwed. Time to part it out.

The bike has only 9k on the clock
Update- as soon as I turn the key on the fuel pump turns on and the injectors immediately start spraying gas before I even hit the starter button. Could this be a setting in the ecm?,tps need to be reset ? Im really hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have video of the injectors spraying gas into the cylinder... bad injectors maybe? I don’t want to start buying anything for no reason.
Thank you in advance.

It sure as hell isn’t because of bad plugs and wires. I realize that “river of gas” was an exaggeration, but trying to fix it by installing plugs and wires is next level.
Did you check the tire pressure? Is your registration up to date? Maybe one of those is causing it?
How freaking obvious can this be? If the injectors are leaking fuel... maybe you have LEAKING INJECTORS!
So, yes to fix leaking injectors, a TPS reset should nail it. Of course, in the time you took to create an account on here, post messages and make videos, you could have reset your TPS multiple times.
Why not try the obvious first? Unplug the injectors. Do they still leak? If yes, then you need your injectors cleaned or replaced. If not the ecm is telling the injectors to pulse continuously or stay open. Or maybe it’s just time for new tires or the LED headlight upgrade? That will fix it.

Take the phone out of your pocket before making a video. Works much better that way.
It seems like you already started.
Jeez talk about getting slammed , I changed plugs and wires before I knew it was flooding the throttle body.
So I unplugged both injectors turned the key,kill switch on and no spray , hooked them back up and sprays like a garden hose. The injectors should not open at all before I hit the starter correct? The injectors are staying wide open when connected to ecm. Sorry for wasteing everyone’s time here just looking for some simple advice on what to check for. Tires are good by the way and reg is up to date. 😁
