GT650R won't fire?

[Pumba]

Kill switch on the handle bar. Normally red and quite large. Make sure it is set to run, or on, or something like that.

Might be worth checking the side stand cut out switch as well on the off chance it has failed

If you have spark it is not your electrical system (unless the spark is weak). The fore start looking at the carbs. Spray a bit of engine start in there and see if it fires.

If it does, but does not continue to run then you have a fuel issue.

Sort of work in a mc shop?.

God no! I'd be homicidal in no time dealing with cracker ass crackers, who can't describe what their bike does, but expect it fixed for fuck all.

On the other hand, one can describe exactly what their bike does, but tec says, "no thats not the problem" and charges fucken heaps and still never got it right. Cunts don't listern most of the time.

The mechanics at the shop I frequent, I know quite well. Even though I've never taken a bike to them. I imagine they would look into my idea before going in their own direction.

But they are friends, so I guess that makes me kinda different to the situation you suggest.

No, I have a wife for that.

Read your last post fella,you can put all the gas you like in the tank you need to see if its getting to the carb,you seem a bit caught up with the plugs so are they wet or dry?

[Drew]

No, I have a wife for that.

I have a wife too, but she is worse with an iron than I am.

I also put the tank on from my 250 just to see if its the cock still nothing , also put the 650's tank on the 250 and it was working fine.

I just have no idea

I don't think you needed to swap fuel tanks to find out if its the cock thats the problem.

if it started and ran before what has changed since it last ran.. if you're mucking about with batteries n stuff then check the battery itself holds good charge and good cca. then check your wiring and electrical components etc.. maybe somethings rooted or shorted out/blown.

could be something completely different too.. ya just never know until you get to testing stuff. take it back to the bike shop.

I have checked all the wiring , nothing seems odd with it , the only thing that has changed since it last ran was the battery and me putting the fairings on it.
