Starting/running problem...

[Mydnyt]

Had starting problems where bike fires, funs for a few seconds then cuts out again. Then battery died, no good even after recharging. New battery, same issue... Fires, runs for a v short time, then cuts out again.
YES, it DOES have fuel.
Any suggestions while I try and organise a day off work monday and a trailer?
And today's such a gorgeous day for riding

Have that good old regulator rectifier checked.

Thanx for that Colonel Klink...

In this case yes... but i swear the guys are usually far more temperamental

[sathid]

let me guess...you were riding another bike on the side weren't you?

[Hewie]

dirty fuel .. or crap from the bottom of the tank .. maybe ???

i had it a couple of time my old bike .. maybe just empty ur tank and put all new fuel in it

I guess it knows everything and is always right too :?:

Sathid - now why would I want to ride anything else 8)

Hewie - you could be right. remember that with my old bike too. will have to do that with the next service...

and Gordo... that'd be why I just can't bring myself to call her a him...

just grab a 5 litre tin of fuel .. go home whack a syphon in the tank empty it all out and then refill it from the new stuff .. dont pay some one to do it .... not worth it

Good point *notes to pick up a fuel tin*
I'm sure I can manage to handle that one...

might also be worth unscrewing the fuel tap assembly from the tank and make sure the straining gauze is also clean........

oh yeah, drain ya tank first!
