has it ever worked while you have owned the bike?

broken wire under the tank or if you have recently had tank off did you plug the wire back in

^^^^^^^^^..............now thats

im amazed ive lasted this long but i do enjoy it here

no need to delete it just edit it and add the info to first post

might help others if they knew where abouts you are as well

thats a good point hadnt even thought about that at the moment i have to wheel the bike out to the car and do it there as ive got a 12 compressor that lives in boot of the car

easy way is remove spark plug and both the inlet and exhaust tappet plugs use long piece of wire or thin screwdriver down plug hole turn engine over slowly watching the inlet valve open then close and then next time the piston returns to the top check the tappets of that cylinder and do the same right across all 4 cylinders as the only time the gap would be correct is on the compression stroke with both valves fully closed at tdc

had thought about it for the lights but havent looked into it that much yet was also thinking for along the lines of running compressor to top up the tyres as well

was it at the top on compression stroke tho and is it points or electronic ign i cant remember off the top of my head if points are up on the cam or down in bottom cover on them

did you make sure you adjusted all of them at the right point of the engine cycle otherwise you will of set them all wrong and it could be help open or not opening enough

if anyone got a cheap generator laying around they want to get rid of im looking for one just to run some lights in my shed while im out there doing bits on the bike doesnt have to be pretty or high powered havent got lots to spend,also a compressor once again its only for tyres on the bike (and car) so can be as small as 24 litre tank on it as im not wanting to run air tools or spray with it

if it hasnt been parked up for long its unusual for the clutch to stick up have you trried leaving the engine off put the bike into gear pull clutch lever in and rock the bike to see if it frees off or even let the bike warm up so the oil is warming up and then see what happens

so when you put the spark plug against the engine and turn the engine over does the plug spark have you checked the connection where the plug lead goes into the plug cap

has it got a kill switch on the throttle side of the switch gear that has been knocked to shut it off?

there was someone dressed up in my village last week by the time he walked from one end of the road to the other the police had him in for public order offences and scaring the locals

check brake pad condition fork seal condition make sure they not leaking check all bulbs are working

it stops Xtreme pissing on the toilet seat

 

It's pissing on my pants that I worry about Stu!

is that on or in your pants

yep that line is the oil level marker

easy answer to that one.......................................no

its fairly easy to hold bike upright and see in viewing window anyway if you are not sure about doing it on your own get someone to hold the bike upright while you look at the oil level

he can get copies of the invoices he needs in a phone call to the accountant so back with him in 4 days in the post and with you within 7 days so i would be telling him he has got 7 days as he has had since april 7 days is more than fair and then you go to trading standards cab and everyone else dont let him keep putting you off gayle as others have said he is just hoping you will go away so get tough with him

i would give him the option of providing copy invoices as he must have them as he has sent some out originally and let him know that he has 7 days in which to supply them or you will have to look at taking steps to report him as the fact he has replied to you in the past proves he has done the work or was meant to of done the work then if he fails to respond go to hmrc trading standards and whoever else you can report him to in scotland and dont forget to inform him that you will after the seven days be making a public post about it if needs be

you need to try and find out if cdi part number is the same for both years if its not chances are its all set up different........forget that both part numbers seem to be the same so its back to cam timing or ign pick up timing point

sounds like fuel starvation or timing issue

start with basics has the battery gone flat are lights horn and indicators working if not chances are the battery is flat so check that first
