hi, does anyone have any idea at what to look at when the bike want's to start but it just won't turn over? also, while at it, anyone no anyone on the northside of brisbane that is cheap and can look at my bike/service it? Thanks
couple of things, is your battery charrged ? When you turn the key do you hear the fuel pump fire up, ie tick tick tick ?
fuel pump is working fine and the battery is flat now, this happened a couple weeks ago, but when it stopped starting it was fully charged. got home from work one day, parked her up and the next day would not start.
have seen batteries die like this or rectifier could be stuffed.take battery out and trickle charge it and go to a battery seller and get them to do a losd leak down test. if you were in newie would bring the tester to you.do not do a fast charge as could cook the battery.
i know the bat need's charging, but it is a new one that i got about a month ago that has gone flat while i was trying to start it. going to charge it this weekend.
Do you strat it with the choke ? or with the throttle ? If you use the throttle it puts extra fuel in the chamber and the plugs can go bad, try pulling a plug and see what she looks like. Also give the battery a good charge
i have not used the choke or throttle as it was starting first time no probs, i will check the plugs over the weekend and i hope its not them as they are as new at the bat
Thanks Marco, i will look at this. got someone having a look at the bike at the end of the week. with work and kids i don't get much time and the fact i don't have a garage and only a carport i can't leave the bike pulled apart.
ok, took this in for a service. was told that no one had worked on this bike in a long time and 3 days later i got the bike back, running like a dream now after a major service. can't thank reddy boyz at kippa ring enough and also done the labor costs at half price. got some LED indicators to put on this weekend, just need some resistors.
Try them without first .... I put 2 on the front of the Fizz and they worked just fine plugged straight in.
ok, i need resistors for the indicators, so waiting on them to come. also, the bike has a stuffed cylinder so i have been told it will need a top end rebuild.
i took it into the bike shop i have been going to. no compression in one cylinder and alot of warn parts. when i got the bike i started having issues almost right away, i was a little dumb when i got this cause i did not look into stuff enough and just went i like this and got it cause i wanted to get riding.
Thanks Grey, i am going to get someone to look at it. i am going to suck up to Kiffsta (i have beer) and see if he can help me out. i really think the engine has some major issues and a new one will be cheaper then fixing this one, considering Kiffsta has an engine for an across for sale. will prob be the cheaper way of doing it.
