NOT FIRING ON ALL CYCLINDERS

[evosport]

Left the bike for a couple of months due to commitments try to start it the other day and it would only run on one cyclinder. Checked the plug that was sparking but swapped it for the other pot, but it would still not fire on the second cyclinder. So checked injector that was spraying fuel.
Whats gone wrong why would it run fine 2 months ago and now only one pot.
Help I've tried kicking the tyres and that didn't make a difference.

cables into fuel injectors - ones been misplaced

Ditto......

Have a look particularly at the right hand cable at the throttle body end...

My question is, if the bike was running ok before it was left alone for a while, how come the cable was displaced.?

In my case I'd replaced the de-cat pipe with the original cat and unwittingly dislodged the cable in the process.
You live and learn.
It’s good that there are so many knowledgeable people on this website willing to help an ignorant sole.

I did exactly the same and was about to phone BMW Warantee when I found it.

No. 97% are.

(With the exception of the new 1200s tho )
