  1. Nothing wrong, I was just making sure because I never had to use the choke ever on my 1st bike, the virago.
  2. That's good to know, thanks Tango/bonniebird!
  3. No I'm not stupid, I rode the bike down my street which is empty at no more than 30mph, if even 30. It's not like I was out burning her down busy roads or even a moderately busy road. Pretty sure anyone who has bought a new bike has giving her a try safely.
  4. Yeah it was sitting for abit, actually seemed ok this morning, I wanna keep the bike in really good nick, it's only got 6000miles on it and looks perfect. I decided to take it a spin round the block was running for about 5-10mins not going faster than 30mph, when I got back the engine and pipes where roasting hot? Is this normal? Sorry for the questions, it's my first big bike and I wanna keep her good.
  5. No I will wait until I get my licence, wouldn't wanna risk anything. I'd love to know why it just starts on the choke though.
  6. Hi, my dragster 650 will only start when I pull the choke out, it starts first time when the chokes out then an I put the choke back in and it's fine. Any ideas? I only got the bike yesterday and don't have my module 2 passed yet, it's driving me crazy I just wanna take her out for a long journey.

  8. Bit of a beginner at all this, how do you mean the spark gap and it's set to wide?
  9. So you suggest I just get new plug caps? Or should I do something more?
  10. This exact thing happened to mine, i took to a mechanic and he said dodgy fuel, so he did what he thought to fix it and it didn't sort the problem. Turned out it was a faulty ignition coil and when we took the tank off we could see a spark, changed the coil and the bike ran fine after.
  11. I'm not sure if he changed the plug, as I said it never happened before until he changed the coil and the cap that goes round the spark plug. I think I will buy new plugs an caps and do it myself. It's a real pain in the arse to be honest. I am located in Belfast.
  12. Thanks mate, I'll give it ago. Me being the none technical one suggested this to the mechanic but he said that's not the problem, I'll give it ago. Thanks you.
  13. Hi everyone, I have a yamaha virago, when it rained the bike used to stall, I seen a spark coming from the ignition coil so I got it changed. After I changed it the spark plug has began to spark. I took it to my local garage but he couldn't figure it out. I'm no expert but when he changed the coil the cover on to the spark plug was different and did not cover it as much as the original but it's not completely showing either. This didn't happen before until he changed the coil. Any ideas? I must add the spark appears to be coming through the rubber part but there is not holes are anything. I'll try to attach a short video. https://vimeo.com/124043244
  14. It just touched slightly and straight back up again and continued on. He said the rest of the test was faultless so he seen no reason not to pass me. My instructor also said after the test that the guy who took the test was one of the better ones.
