Guest Mr Miller Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 It sounds a bit similar to the probs Jimsoon was having - starts ok on the choke first thing in the morning, no choke needed on way home, 10 miles to the childminder's house to pay her bill. The engine was off for no more than 10 mins and the problem that we had when we were checking the map arose again!Checked K/S first, tried in neutral with clutch out & with clutch, in 1st with clutch in, in neutral with side stand up & down.........eventually she fired up and off I went - but she did feel a bit 'jerky' untill I got haome about a mile later!Ideas again please chaps.......and try to not make them too expensive!

Anthony Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 jerky might be a result of sooted up plugs, which would indicate fuelling problem, take a look and compare with spark plug section in any haynes manual Quote
Guest Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 It is currently away at bike hospital duane m8. Will get a call Mon/Tues I expect.... Quote
Guest Mr Miller Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Thanks for the hints!Dan, sorry for hijacking your thread! I got confused and thought I was chatting in the thread I started!!! Hope your blade gets sorted quickly! Quote
Guest Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 lolIts not a problem Mr M, all goes in the same melting pot! Quote
queen bodecia Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 So is it going yet?I've not managed to break my Blade as yet, but since it spends its life under cover in a nice dry garage, that's hardly surprising... Quote
Guest Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Still away at bike hospital QB, I expect to hear tomorrow or tuesday. Quote
Guest Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Just rung him. No news as yet, says he looked yesterday but couldn't find anything conclusive. Says he gonna look again tomorrow, and I quote 'should have some news tomorrow night' Quote
Rik398 Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 hope its something really easy and cheap. but then i suppose theres the issue of kicking yourself that you didn't find it .... Quote
Guest Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Still no news .. Rung him twice earlier, no answer. Could be any reason really, but doesn't stop me being exceptional cynical about it... Quote
Pete Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 It's going to cost you thousands in repair bills, Dan! Quote
Guest Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Well... spoke to grease monkey this morning....me: 'How's it going with my 'blade?'him: 'No luck yet, I've tried the usual stuff but no joy. I've got a bloke coming next week who is an electrics expert'me: 'Yeah well, I tried all the usual stuff, thats how come I gave up and give it to you ......'FFS Quote
rennie Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 i think i'd be thinking about taking it somewhere else by now mate! Quote
JoshRS Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) WAIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!did any one check the killswitch?? edit: Hope the bike gets sorted mate Edited July 10, 2009 by JoshRS Quote
Guest Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 i think i'd be thinking about taking it somewhere else by now mate! The only other option is going to Honda really.... and as it won't start, How do I transport it? Quote
rennie Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 AA? , RAC?, mate with a van?I don't know mate seems to have been in there a long time for no result! Quote
Guest Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 With the nature of the fault Rennie, I expected it to take this long. I'm more peeved the guy obviously didn't believe me when I told him what the problem is, and wasted a week. Quote

Do you think he can spell e l e c t r i c i a n?What an arse this is for you, Dan. Nevermind, it'll be all the more sweeter when you get the power back between your legs Quote
