[PT_Dave]

Hi guys and girls, have my ZR just about ready except i have now found that i have fuel and i have spark but there is no life. Have spent the last hour kicking the shit out of it and still no go, (have a sore foot now).
Anyone have any brilliant ideas how a can get this sexy young girl to scream???

how do you know it has fuel?

take the plug out pour some gas down the bore kick it a few times to gets a bit of the gas out put the plug back in and try kick start it ...if it fires and runs then dies you still have a fuel supply problem

Do you have compression? etc etc etc etc - give us the full story.

Put a Suzuki bage on it..she'll go good then! :rofl:

[skidMark]

how much do suzuki badges weigh though ...maybe thats why gsx's r so slow? lol just kiddin

Assume you have top compression, but remember 2 strokes need bottom compression as well. What are your crank seals like. If they're shot you can kick until your foot falls off and it won't run

The story as i can see. The bike had a problem after replacing one of the powervalves which broke in half pf not wanting to rev out past 6000RPM. I moved to Wanaka for a while and did not take the bike with me as i could not sort the prob at the time. Have just recently got back, have checked the valves are opening correctly, and have also checked the top end of the motor. Now that the bike is back together i got 8 litres of 96 and put it in the tank and have been trying to kick it over. There is fuel coming through to the plugs, not what i would call a great amount, there is also spark at the plugs. I have just put a new battery in, have tryed to different sets of plugs, i have also just replaced plug caps as one of the old ones was broken, the guy at shop said it was the right ones for the job. So that is the story so far, any help would be great.

Ihad the same story with a old bike that had been sitting around for a time and i tryed and tryed and no go.
We ended up toeing it slowly down the road and it fired up and run as good as gold after that so try that
