Motorcycle wont start/might be the a/f mixture

I have an 02 yamaha r1. it has 12000 miles on it. it cranks over but will not start. i can take and disconnect the fuel line from my tanks to my injectors and plug it back up and it will start. i can ride it all day and then shut it off and let it sit for 20 min and it wont start up jus cranks over. my engine light came on and then my exhaust got really loud and started backfiring or popping back. the light will come on and go off. when it goes off it sounds fine and runs fine. my spark plugs were black on the ends. i changed them like a month ago. i went from the cr9eix to the cr9e.

Yamaha roadstar, slow cranking wont start with new battery

I think someone is seized to the shaft bearing of the crankshaft.Download the heads and roll the crankshaft clockwise and back to see if pistons move when you turn the shaft or receive clearance and then leave

Yamaha c3 cranks but wont start quit while running

23,000 on any scooter is "high miles" probably needs new piston rings,bearings,etc. Check your compression! You should be over 100 psi. Was it smoking more than usual? I would start out with checking your compression though. you can rent out a tester at any parts store. Hope this helps you out.

Bike starts right up when choke is on or off. as soon as i giveit gas it stalls out and dies. i just put fresh gas in it. also, it only has about 3,000 miles on it. it's a yamaha v star 2006 1100...

There is a fuel setting issue and the mixture to the cylinder is not correct. It can be problems in the carburator, the air / fuel mixture settings, possible there is dirt clogging within any ports and choking.
When the throttle is raised there is insufficient fuel to the cylinder and so it shuts down. check the spark plug, the gaps and the timing.

I have a 1995 Honda 750cc Magna. I have to change spark plugs about every 100 miles or it don't start.

Here's my $.02. Your plugs are getting fouled cause the bike is running rich. Adjust the air/fuel mixture screw to make it run leaner.

On average, how many miles can I expect to get once the fuel light appears on my '02 yzf r-6

Once the fuel light comes on, i guess you have about 35 miles if you really ride slow. I suggest you start looking for a gas station as soon as the light comes on.

Cranks as though battery is dying

That sounds like your alternator might need to be replaced.
