| Restarting bike after many years unused |

My 2003 Fazer has been unused since about 2015. For time it's been in a garage. This summer I've bought a new battery and changed the petrol. When I press the ignition button it turns over, and seems to want to start, but just won't.
Could it be because the petrol between the fuel tank and the carbs is still the old stuff? If so is it a question of trying and retrying until the new fuel reaches the engine? Or are there other likely causes?
Thanks for any help.

why does the 3rd cylinder show low compression (70 psi) and the others are good (200-210 psi) on 2 different mk1 600 fzs engines all are cold readings as engines are not in bikes

hi all, anyone know what the engine cylinder compression test should be in psi for a good engine, ive done the test cold on s/hand engines i have bought before fitting in the bike, but so far the reading on 2 engines both show the 3rd cylinder is about 50psi less than the other 3 ?, thanks for any help

Hi, my Fazer 8 is fitted with an R&G tail tidy, but as I'm an all year round rider, I want the added protection of the rear mudguard.
Has anyone fitted a tail tidy and want to sell their original mudguard?

So I test rode an FZ8 today as I was thinking of chopping in my FZS.
It was pretty awful, it was to top heavy as in the front end and it handled like crap.
Has anyone else rode one and what do you think?
Not sure if it was just a duff one but I was shocked how much I hated it.
Shame it looked awesome.
