Sounds as though the anti-theft system is thinking the bike is being stolen and is flashing warning lights. You don't mention whether you have a FOB for it or not. If it is the anti-theft system that only thing you can do is take it to the dealer. The dealers kind of have you over a barrel in a case like this.

If your security lights flash and the key light is on,replace the battery in your fob.

check resistance on plug caps and compare , swop over and see if problem moves to other cyl !

Pull the derby cover off. Make sure bike is upright . Pour fluid in until its level is just above the bottom of the clutch pack in the primary cover

What are the issues?

Sounds like you're not getting a pulse to the front injector lead. Check the connection (Injector wire ) from injector back for broken area or bad corroded pins.

If by "back fires" you are talking about the engine spitting back through the intake, this is because the engine's fuel mixture is too lean for the conditions. If the engine is cold, this is common. If it's doing it once the engine reaches full operating temperature, it's an indication that he fuel air mixture is too lean. They often come from the factory jetted or tuned to run very lean so that the bikes can meet the EPA's emission regulations. Take the bike to a performance oriented shop that has a dynometer and an exhaust gas analyzer. Have them run it up and check the fuel air mixture and they can advise you what you need to do to make your bike run better and cooler.

Good Luck
