    HI everyone,
    this is my first post, and geez im glad i found this forum.
    I just recently ( 3 weeks ago) brought myself a snazzy 90' 3LN.
    I picked it up and rode it for a week. Went like a dream.
    And all of a sudden last week, it wouldnt start.

    NO sparks in plugs, so replaced them and the leads, cleaned filters and balanced the carbs.
    And its still not going. Turns over but doesnt start.

    Any hints?

    Also does anyone know of a mechanic that'll touch em thats good in western vic?

    Cheers

    Check the battery voltage, FZRs will crank over but not fire on a weak battery. Start bike using jumper leads off a car to check for spark at plugs.
