Starting Problems
Ok... i have fixed the little problem i had, but have been presented with a new one! when i turn my bike over i can hear it trying to fire but it doesnt quite start. the only way i gan get it to start is to very very slowly open the throttle until it fires, if i open the throttle too quickly it stop firing. it's had new plugs and an oil change but it has been stood in the rain for 4 months. it has been suggested to me that it may be the HT leads or the coil. what do you guys think??? would be greatful for any advice! cheers Ant.

i've just had a pig of a job recently trying to get mine going after it was stood for 10 months, i would have suggested new plugs but you've done that, is the fuel getting to the plugs?

get ya self a spare plug and test each lead one by one to see if they are sparking, this will eliminate the coils or leads
