engine turns over but wont start

[mytrenis]

Morning all

So got a problem with my er6n. Tried to start it last morning but it wont start. First thing tough about battery, but not the case this time. Battery is full and healthy. Starting to think i about fuel system. As i filled up full tank just day before and got home from work (30 miles) and next morning it didn't start.

Any ideas

Thanks

providing your fuel is getting through to the engine I'd be checking your sparkplugs what colour are they, are they actually sparking?

Drain fuel into clear container. Look for water and crud.

this happened to a mate of mine so I ended up sorting it out for him

it turned out to be the plugs on his!!

new plugs and all was well

[Smokin Joe]

Plugs would be my first port of call too. They are service items that need replacing several time in the life of a bike and were something that was routinely checked in the past but tend to be neglected these days because the tank needs to come off to get them out.

Kill switch?....... Sidestand switch?.......

Kill switch?....... Sidestand switch?.......

I did this two days ago... New bike which was turning over but not starting. I tried push starting a few times, then looked at the kill switch.... I previously thought that if it was turning over then the kill switch was off because with my last bike when the kill switch was on it wouldnt turn over.

Kill switch was first thing i check has happen to me on my first 125 years ago. Fliped the switch by accident while riding. Ended up in the middle of the road called my dad who came with a van and took it home where started taking it apart n

Just changed the spark plugs and still the same thing.

Starting to think its fuel that doesn't go though, but not sore. How i could check if fuel goes as it should ?

thanks

Try starting it and then take the plugs out and see if they're wet if they're bone dry then it'll be no fuel going though

[mytrenis]

no sore if i can do that. because to get accses to plugs i need to take of tanks and air box and disconnect all of them. is the any other way of doing it?

[megawatt]

Do what I said earlier in thread? Just be careful with fuel. I had 1/2 gallon of water in my tank from a refuel once.

[mytrenis]

Drained it. And there is no traces of water. Could it be that fuel doesn't get to where it needs. like fuel filter needs to be changed, but i read that it is build in to the fuel pump so all fuel pump would need to be changed.

Did you fill it up with diesel by any chance?

We've had that one before

Good spark?

Fuel lines clear?

What happens when you try to bump start? Perhaps the starter isn't engaging properly.
