carbs coulb be gummed up causing no fuel to get through

Akey usually recomends wynns carb cleaner as he has used it with good results i dont think you dont need to remove the carbs

i would try my sugestion if no joy its time to strip the carbs for a good clean

usually the float valves jam shut letting no fuel through

nope!!

fully charge your battery as you will need it

chances are its crap fuel in the lines if its been stood

turn the bike over and keep the button pressed for quite some time while messing with the choke on and off

some bikes hate crap fuel and the only way to start it is the way above

do not open the throttle as it will just weaken the mixture and not fire you will get good fuel through eventually

it will run crap when it does fire up but just keep it running till it warms up properly

if after doing the above and it still doesnt start you will probably have to remove the plugs and give them a good clean up before proding further in to it

also is your bike fuel injected or carbs ? if its carbs it could be a different story

sure stu will run be able to show us hes good a things

im good with wires and sparky stuff... electrics

sorry not for me this sort of stuff

i dont want to be blamed for someone making a balls up

if you put the ignition on and just wobble wires and watch for the lights coming on and off thats the easiest way to check

ps if it helps i have this problem on mine at the minute too but i know what wires it is

silver mate

does the bike turn over and just not fire ?

or do you just get a clicking sound when you hit the starter ?

And as for the other bit, the admins not endorsing illegal activities is he now?

nope

sounds like you have a loose connection

usually the multi plugs behind the clocks and in the side of fairings are the culprit

stu please come, would be nice to do 60mph with you again lol.

This is what happens when i ride at a faster pace when people dont know the road

its also called keeping a group together so no one gets lost

sounds like you had fun and a top job done

on another note though

keeping the leavers pressed doesnt let the air out

once you pull that brake lever its a sealed unit so no air can escape all it does is compress the air it is a myth that the air comes out or goes to the top also it can distort the seals keeping the pressure on

if you think their is air in there get an easy bleed nipple and remove the calipers while pumping fluid through move the calipers about to free any trapped air and tap the calipers and lines lightly also get the caliper as high as possible

i like the look of this

will see closer to the time all depends on shifts at work

Is that good or bad ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

cant keep up with these youngsters latest lingo

nice bargain their rennie

i would try and get a mount for your tomtom

you will need wires or be spending on extra batteries anyway

you have to get OE batteries otherwise they dont last as long then you need the phone and software and GPS receiver

might work out cheaper just to get the mount

http://www.ram-mount-uk.com/bike-mount82.htm

but it depends what version of tomtom one you have aswell

which tomtom is it ?

you might be able to get a mount

the battery on the phone will last about 3 hours max when usiing the sat nav

i bought a spare battery and on a run to matlock and back i used both

if you want it on a mobile i would go for the nokia N96 with tomtom installed using a ram mount so you can see it plus wire a charger on to the bike

the nokia's usually come with a headphone adaptor the N95 uses a normal 3.5mm jack plug

if your going to get one with sat nav you need the most up to date phone with lots of free ram not memory you need ram

bit like your pc ram for working programs fast

memory for storing

the N96 has more then enough ram at 128mb where as the N95 is a bit limited at 21mb which makes the sat nav run slow at times

easily miss a turn

you will also need a charger for your phone as when using sat nav it eats the battery

also dont get a phone with sat nav already as it costs you for the software when you can get it for free if you look around or pm me

you are best off with a separate GPS receiver too and not using the built in one especially if you are thinking of putting it in your pocket

also try ram mount for a suitable mount for the phone like the aqua box

a damn good service on the calipers if the pads are wearing un even

also check the steering head bearings

ps moved to pitstop

does your neutral light work ?

some work off the neutral light

if its not working it may think its in gear

why not near me

mind do i need it

With the engine idling it shows 14-15v, when revving 5-10k rpm the voltage goes between 13-19v. (lights switched off).

 

that suggests the reg/rec is suspect

ps pop in to newbies and say hello

is there a way a drop down box can be added at registration with towns around the uk? or am i suggesting the insanley insane!

yes you are

far too much work

not too bad then

plus you still have one drying out

find another garage!!!!!!

the choke has no fuse at all its cable operated

Have a look at this Stu

i already have one of those TC

but still doesnt solve the mounting the tomtom on the bike

may aswell get the propper kit and try it hard wired
