Came to start the bike this morning and there is no noise from the starter motor or the fuel pump. The battery is fine, fuses okay and lights work. Would appreciate any advice.

What are your thoughts on posting questions related to motorcycles that aren't Fazers/MTs, or even not Yamahas?


I got a question about a Ural motorcycle kick-start not engaging problem. I know next to nothing about Ural motorcycles. I suppose it's a spring, and/or a pawl damage problem, but can't be certain. And I suppose that not engaging when it's very cold is the first sign of trouble. But that's mostly guesswork on my part - far from the knowledgeable expert.
The first thing that came to mind was to direct the person asking to this forum. There are some very knowledgeable people here, that seem knowledgeable with (motorcycle) mechanics in general, probably not "just" the Fazers/Yamahas.


But the question is whether people are happy and willing to have non-fazer stuff here. Yes, I'm sure there is a Ural forum somewhere, but I'd rather take an "it's probably..." from the people on FOC, than "it must be..." from a forum I have no idea about.
Having more members is not necessarily good - quantity doesn't always provide more quality. But it's also not bad in and of itself.


Anyway, I suppose the best thing is to ask.


Can and should we have a non-Yamaha/non-Fazer section?
Do you think it's a good idea?
Can I direct the poor sobs who don't speak my native to this wretched place?

Hi
I have a couple of scotoilers for sale (its the main reservoirs - the most expensive bits) for £15 a pop and one whole scotoiler box (with I think practically everything in it, except the oil bottle) for £60 and a dual injector £15, unopened in the packaging.


Can be collected from HA4.


Drop me an email at velotipo@gmail.com, if interested as I can never seem to post pictures

Hi all
On my 08 FZ1 there are some blanked plugs in the wiring loom under the left had trim cover and one with no female end, does anyone know what they're for? The bike was like that when I got it with no issues as yet, I found some bodge wiring for heated grips which I removed. If nothing else I'd like to satisfy my curiosity
Thanks ?

*oops just realised should have posted this is fazer corner.. doh!

Hello fitted k tech linear springs but not sure of oil capacity and air gap any help thanks in advance

Anybody fitted k tech linear springs is the air gap the same thanks in advance

Hi all
How important is the 91mm air gap, I  mean if you put precisely 545ml of oil in then all things being equal it must be right, what can change to make the air gap incorrect? The reason  I'm asking is I put 545ml of oil in bone dry forks spring out fully compressed and the gap was about 105mm
Your thoughts please
Thanks ?
