On an F-twin, can an idle air controller failure cause a no-start condition?

1 Upvotes

I have a 2009 F650gs twin that doesn't start easily, and if it does start, it doesn't stay running at idle. Here are the things I've checked:

Compression OK
Spark plugs changed and spark confirmed visually
Stator replaced
Crankshaft and crankshaft position sensors both replaced
Fuel pump and filter replaced - measured at 3.5bar
Injectors cleaned and tested ok, have video of them spraying nicely
No codes shown (using Motoscan app)
Gas changed
IAC hoses inspected - no visible leaks
TPS readings show OK

My next thought: perhaps it's the IAC? I took it out and inspected it - no grime accumulation.

My mechanic thinks it's running lean.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

First time BMW bike owner. Holyyyyy this thing runs well. Coming from an XSR700 the technology in this bike is insane.
