    Arrow HELP Needed In Auckland!!!

    Honda CBR250rr 1992

    My Friend has been working her butt off getting my bike ready for the Toy Run and my bike refuses to turn over!!!
    I have one day to get wof and rego and be all ready for Saturday morn!!!

    We think it may be the spark plugs as everything else has been looked at. Any help would be soooo much appreciated.

    What part of auckland are you in and have you tried crash starting?
    Does the starter motor go? Lights on the dash show up when you turn the ignition on?

    Its not spark plugs if it won't turn over. I would say check that its in neutral (common mistake) and the side stand is up. Failing that, check out the sensor on the side stand as well as the starter motor.

    No. My biggest problem is I am a learner and I have no knowledge at all with mechanics of her. I think that the spark plugs are a pain in the butt to get to!

    Do you have a multimeter? Can you get a battery voltage reading?
    Has it been sitting for a while?

    Yes she has been sitting for a while...we put the battery on charge overnight. She seems to be ok in that department now. I have emptied the tank and put in new petrol and we have cleaned out the carbs.

    When you "won't turn over" do you mean that nothing at all happens when you push the start button? Or does the motor make a whirring sound but not start?

    It's a four cylinder, it is very unlikely that all 4 plugs would be so bad as not to fire at all.

    Don't bite me, but are you absolutely certain that the engine kill switch is in the Run position?

    If nothing at all happens when you press the button, but the lights work, most likely is a blown fuse.

    EDIT. Missed the earlier post about petrol

    If you have put new fuel in, you will need to turn the fuel tap to prime (assuming it is the usual jap vacuum sort)

    EDIT AGAIN - Questins being answered while I was posting. If it's firing but won't pick up, yes could be plugs. Or fuel. Sometimes it can take a LONG time cranking to get the fuel through all the carbs.

    Are the fuel hoses clear? if you put it out from the carbs do you get fuel running through them with the fuel tap switched on? (The fuel tap is switched on, right? )

    You need to make that clearer then. Its more than likely spark. Have you checked if there is fuel getting to the motor?
