HELP!! My bike won't start

**phoenixgtr** · 13th June 2006, 18:46

I had to leave it at uni and catch the bus home. Really not happy.

It started first try but died immediately after. I forgot to put the choke on and now it won't start at all.

I think it's prob the spark plug cause it's been in there whole bikes life. Does anyone know where I can get one pronto, and the tool to change them?

I need a NGK CR8E or equivalent

The toolkit was gone when I got the bike. The previous owner decided to keep it

Even if you got the plug out & scuffed it up you might have some joy until you can get a plug tomorrow?

You've checked the obvious already???

Of course! It's the tyre pressure.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking.

Yep, I checked everything obvious. I was there for like half an hour trying to get it going

Dude... it's an FXR150, why didn't you just put it in your rucksack and carry it home?

**Str8 Jacket** · 13th June 2006, 19:14

You OK with leaving it at uni or do you want me to come up and see if I can help? Very unlikely that I could help...

**Madness** · 13th June 2006, 19:14

Uni's on a hill innit??

Crash start the byatch, say in 2nd or so. Feather the throttle once she fires. You've probably just soaked the carbon build-up on the plug with cold wet gas. crashing down a hill should do it.
