Bike won't start

[swanman]

OK all plugs are now out, and they all look the same. Black and a bit oily. I have just found some wire wool so will scuff em up and then stick em back in.

Amazing to get the plugs out I have to dismantle the ignitors that sit on a little shelf about the plugs. So far I have about 30 fastners loose, a fuel tank off, an air box off and a side faring and tail piece off, ignitors off , just to get the plugs out, and check the fuses.

Ah well mate, you'll be an expert in all this by the time your done! Good on ya for giving it all a go tho, sounds like you have tracked down the prob, just got to remember how it all goes back together now!!

good on ya, keep goin..

easy with the webcam buggy, we know what you get up to with those......

Did you try jump starting it before pulling it all to bits? It could be as simple as low battery voltage

moisture in the E/I maybe ? doesn't take F/A to upset it. whip the cover off & give it a blast of WD40 or similar

[swanman]

Ok.......... CLean plugs put it all back together.Check everything looks more or less as I found it. (what a mission to get the plugs, ht leads and other crap back in). Fuel tank on. Press the tit................

Starts first time. Goes straight to idle.

All that's left is to get all the shit back on that I took off and hope there's nothing left over.

After due consideration, not sure what was wrong with it. Dirty plugs? SIde stand switch, jiggling connectors, air lock?? But it works. So thanks everyone. All that with just the tools in the bike kit too.

Well done mate...

So for xmas pressie's you are putting in a order for tools aren't you?

Now go and take the bike for a spin around the block...
yep its a decent size block in the area you live in....
do not stop at the jail... You have a special pass to go right past it..

[bugjuice]

possibly a bit of everything..

or may be since you left it standing for a week, it just wanted some attention from you to make up for the neglect.. girls get a bit like that too sometimes.. before you can go for a ride, you just have to make sure they're tickety boo..

just wanted attention huh, tempramental fizzer lols.

as for the wheel job, have you got axle-stands for a car? they're handy to do the job. or if not M/C tie-downs & a carport or garage with beams? do the loop the tie-down over the beam trick & suspend the bike from the tie-downs

Since this thread has started to run its course, perhaps someone would like to explain the 'EXUP' thing. Im assuming its a series of FZR motor that uses some kinda technology?

It's an exhaust valve that optimises gas flow to maintain mid-rpm torque despite a restrictive muffler.

EXUP= exhaust ultimate powervalve.
its a butterfly valve in the exhaust system located between the headers & muffler its attached to a servo motor which in turn is linked to a microprocessor linked to the ignition.

and argh! a goat track driveway mmm bugger!
