Do it anyway, you can always sue them for false adverstising.

no you cant they are "show" plates

not for the road

they know how to cover their ass

ps you might be able to squeeze in to get the plugs out without taking the tank off

the two inner ones will be the hardest like on the bandit 600

yup it has 4 plugs

you see where the radiator is ? look behind the radiator between the frame rails and you will see the plug leads going in to the top of the engine pull these out and the plugs are in there

only take one plug out at a time check and replace the lead then move to the next

but before you do that

does the bike turn over ? or do you have to connect it to the car for it to turn over ?

if the battery isnt charging you need to be looking at different things

ps pop in newbies and tell us a bit about yourself

I know what you mean when the battery is flat you get a single click each time you hit the starter. Now when you hold the starter it literally clicks 10 times a second, like a clicking machine gun.

you dont get a single click you get the relay clicking constantly

battery could be fuffed

its very rare its the starter relay

you got a car and some jump leads ? if so conect up to car and try and start it DO NOT START THE CAR

that will rule out the battery

It can't be as simple as attaching the + wire to the + terminal and the - wire to the - terminal can it?

yes as simple as that

flat battery

its your starter relay that is clicking

if you are going to connect it to the car make sure you dont start the car up

dont apologise mate

you only mentioned it and a few poeple have started to take an interest so really it deserves its own post

did it only start in the winter ? could be carb icing up

they are carb arent they and not injection ???

and bex sort your bloody avatar

anything over 97db i think

or if you have a can with not for road use written on it

i think mines about 197db

You get fined for loud pipes?

yup

My freind had exactly the same problem with his CBR after it had been stood and it was a faulty kill switch.....Just a suggestion you never know, Pluss if it is, It's an easy fix

Ragger's xxx

it wouldnt try and fire though

stopping every now and then helps the petrol in the exhaust evaporate and stop it back firing when it does fire too

if you want

it does sound as if its just crappy fuel and if its trying to fire it should eventually

ive known some bikes to almost kill the battery doing this but they evntually start

stelmer

can you start a new thread for this ride out if you dont mind ?

you may get a fair few people intersted

have you tried till the battery has gone flat ?

waste of time

you break the law expect to be caught at some point and pay the price

trying to evade the law is a far more seriouse crime

i have loud pipes on my bike and im expecting to be pulled at some point and get a £30 fine and rectification notice i will deal with that when it happens and not complain

i know im breaking the law and expect to pay the price when caught

does just sound like crappy fuel in the lines

Should be interesting aye

if it makes it out the garage

Not really.... just wish people put as much effort into organising stuff as they do moaning...

 

lol you cant talk vix, cant remember the last time i saw you on a bike :P

errrr her bikes off the road and has been for a while

why dont you fix it for her zippy

Looking forward to trying them out again tomorrow

go steady in this weather

top job well done

if your not painting it dont worry about the paint codes as paint codes very depending on where the painter gets the paint from

will only cost you about £60 to get the seat pod painted up

craig are you thinking of doing it yourself ?
