Gt250r wont start.!!! HELP

[Timaa]

my bike wont start. got to work this morning and used the kill switch and now i turn the key to on and everything else works fine except it wont start and ive tried the side stand switch as well and now im at my wits end. someone help me?!!!

[The Pastor]

you flicked the kill switch back on to "run" right?

Try holding in the clutch when you start it, and make sure the side stand it up.

Did you somehow leave your lights on? try push starting it (do it in 2nd or 3rd gear)

is it firing at all?
if not play with the gears and clutch while trying to start it. mine sometimes wont start in neutral unless i pull the clutch in

[awayatc]

when you flick the run/off switch you earth a live wire from ignition, same with side standswitch and clutch...
So from what you are saying it sounds like that wire is still earthing ( everything works except starting..)
So if you get no spark ,track that usualy black and red striped wire and see if it touches metal somewhere...
and/or bypass the switches one by one to see if one of em shorts out....Good luck

was a dodgy earthing wire. just fiddled round and it works now. lucky for me. i was freaking out. thanks for the advice peeps. Tim

Fuggin' bike just about broke my fuggin' ankle today. Tiny little narrow Parnell back streets; pull a tight U-turn, bike chooses that moment to splutter and miss at low rpm (hot engine, just filled up tank of gas), down she goes... first reaction was to put out foot.

Ooooooooootch.
