Re: Complete lack of start up. - darrsi - 24-11-16
Candle does sound all nice and that, especially one with a nice strawberry scent perhaps, but not much good in this case for instance in a built up area, or anywhere near possible fuel. :lol
Re: Complete lack of start up. - unfazed - 24-11-16
Yeah, but watch the candle grease, won't do the front mudguard or rad any good dropping it on it :lol

A kitchen blowtorch would be far too hot I think.

Evening all, sorry for the lack of replies lately, I'm not dead!
Anyway just an update, I've got a new Yuasa and I'll be installing it tomorrow along with fixing the previously mentioned cable. Fingers crossed that'll fix the issues.
Re: Complete lack of start up. - DangerNoodle - 26-11-16
Okay so while attempting to join the cables I accidentally clipped through one >. < so what thickness cable do I need to buy to rejoin the two sides?

Anything that isn't thinner than what's already there.

Pressed the starter button and nothing happened at all
No clicking from the solenoid
It turned out that the alarm loop plug had come disconnected.
The alarm loop plugs (two of them) are located under the seat near the CDI box.
I think that's where you connect an alarm if you have one.
How one of them got disconnected... I've no idea.
Anyway thanks to 'Unfazed' it now seems to work fine.
i wonder????
i put a new battery in mine last thursday and its as dead as a dodo already. yet i only have a positive and negative lead going to my battery. anybody have any suggestions
Re: Complete lack of start up. - bandit - 28-11-16
Just a couple of suggestions did you fully charge new battery before fitting & if you use the steering lock,did you turn the key to much anti clockwise & turn the parking lights on by mistake.

I'd charge up the battery fully. then start the bike and measure the voltage across the battery while the bike's running and revved to check if it's charging or not or if it's over charging. if the voltage is staying the same or dropping you'll have to test the charging circuit. if it is charging you might have something drawing current while the bike is off. turn the bike off. disconnect one of the wires going to the battery and set your multimeter to amps then connect one of the multimeter leads to the battery and the other to the wire you just disconnected from the battery. check if there's any current draw draining the battery

You want 14 to 14.75 volts steadily when the bike is running. Obviously anything above is over charging and below could mean your charge circuit is broken.

Cheers gents, all food for thought
Re: Complete lack of start up. - DangerNoodle - 30-11-16
Managed to rejoin the broken cable today and the bike is officially alive and running again!
Thanks everyone for the input, it was massively helpful and I'll absolutely be sticking around the forums now.
Re: Complete lack of start up. - Jules-C - 30-11-16
Well done.
Just keep an eye on extra wear by the joins.
