Hello. Sorry late reply. Not been well. Some news good. Starter motor is fine check loads wires all ok so far. Friend put metal across solenoid and it turn engine over. That good too

[TimR]

Really really stupid question .... the kill switch isnt off is it ?

Glad to hear your on the mend

But good news that the engine at least turns .

Did they try with the ignition switch on or off .

As with it turned on it may start so at least you will know if that side of things work fine .

[Crazy Welsh]

Haha many keep ask. Kilmarnock switch is correct so is fuel. Go try look at cables from throttle. As when try bump start blow 15a fuse!

Feel lots better. Some exciting news tell Spanner about too

[ThePhatomfart]

[Crazy Welsh]

now not starting AAAAARRRRGGGHHH! taken battery off charge night. Wanted bump start ran out road. Just when thought headache finished. But when bump start no fuses blow that good

[ThePhatomfart]

Hi CW you need to put your battery on charge for a good 24 hours, if your only doing short trips the battery will run down sooner, if its not charging on the bike that could be a stator/reg problem , just use your multimeter and test the battery volts once its on the bike and the bike is running

[Crazy Welsh]

Battery on charge. Charged ok on bike but taken off to charge in house as neighbour would try get in through window. Hope tomorrow it will start. I think I need new throttle switch.

[Crazy Welsh]

Battery charge all night. Nothing! Not even bump start

[NeilM]

Spanner.

Go spend a weekend in Scotland

[ThePhatomfart]

Battery charge all night. Nothing! Not even bump start

Have you got lights ,horn ,indicators , check fuses

[Crazy Welsh]

Working again. When bump start knocked few wires. All together now. Off on a little run to see how is feels.

[ThePhatomfart]

Just goes to show, you need those good connections.
