bike wont start again!!
well, just went to go home and she refused to start. She started fine this morning, now after 4 hours of cool down she refuses to start with a bit a backfire thrown in too!
How do I do that check to test the generator again? Its a nearly new battery.... Bugger!

Told you it would start. I think your plugs are fouling, causing the starting problems.

Fouling can be caused by a number of things such as mixture, however from your previous posts about the charging system you may have a weak spark that can result in plug fouling.

As I have said before, take your bike to someone who can give your machine a damn good service and get all those little niggles sorted. Summer is on the way and you don't want it to let you down.

You got the bike for a good price because of these niggles so I don't think you can complain if you have to spend a couple hundred getting it sorted. You wont regret it, but you would if you bought an RD!

Hey! I had an Rd before and loved it! oooh it sounded so pretty with allspeeds on!
Ive got me a volt meter now so I'll check the battery when I have her up and running tonight. also got her hooked up to an optimate, so that should help starting in the mornings... does anyone else run one?
