Just tried to fire up the bikes after sitting in my garage for a month-unused and unloved.
The 916 started first time off the button as it always has(forgot how loud it was),the ss was a different matter though,the starter turns and the odd backfire told me that fuel is getting through,it even grumbled a bit as though it was about to start but came to nothing,I tried with and without choke.
I cant believe its the petrol after only a month, the other bikes started without too much effort.
Anyone have any ideas what to do next? or had the same problem,the spark plugs are new but I might as well check them next.
