ha ha yes , turning fuel on is always a must , sounds bit odd that he aint getting backfires or something if bike was running fine before being laid up ,fresh fuel , EZ start and a good power source could do it ,just dont crank it over none stop on the button , starter motors dont like it ,hope you get it going

i had a similar issue after mine was written off, it just need a bloody good spark to get it going after being stood. And it only takes like 5 minutes to jump it so it's worth a try with the car running...

ordered some plugs should be with me tomorrow sometime , as for the spark plug socket i got one which says 10mm on it but measured the hex and it is 16mm confused ?? have i got the right socket . i got a bigger plug socket but its on a 1/4 inch drive and not got a extension bar for that one .

it was the right size plug socket , what am i supposed to be looking for ?? colour . took one out & its brownish in colour ?? is this normal . but will be changing them anyway whenn my set comes .

To be honest with you a new set of plugs is not likely to suddenly fix your starting problem..................

Cleaned old plugs up today & fully charged the battery , sprayed a bit of carb cleaner into the top of the carbs { why i dont know just thought it might disolve some gunk } turned it on and the bloody thing started , so i have bought a new set of plugs for nothing , but got to give it a service soon , anyway taking it for a mot 2moz , lets hope it passes , it has a little film of oil on the fork stems ???

if you feel and see oil smear on the fork chrome, give them a clean, then bounce the forks, just to check its not WD40 or some other crap, if its fork oil, don't bother going to MOT until you've fixed it! you'll fail for leaking fork seals!

wiped the oil & took it straight for a mot , passed flying colours , havent checked to see if oil has returned , cant wait for summer if we have one this year .

Good lad , just keep an eye on it coz if you suspect it you can bet its there , forks pump alot of oil ,,,,right onto your brake discs ,mmmmmmm not good , forecast for coming week looks grand ,bring on the late evenings where the suns goes down about 9.30pm ! giddy at the thought !!!
