Hi Guys, 6 year owner first time poster,
Wondered if you can help me out.
I'll start out by saying a few years back my bike decided it wanted to go into a coma after (according to the recovery guy), one of the coils died.
After a few years in storage I've got the bike back home and long story to short: crank test compression normal, charge battery for 30 hours tries to fire, flushed tank, cleaned petcock.
Bunch of new parts ordered and reinstalled inclusive of new spark plugs, 2 new coils, fuel filter (these being changed first, by the way does everyone else have two fuel filters?), air filter, oil filter and oil to be changed later once I've got the engine running.
The Question: It sounds like it's trying to fire up properly now but no success. Is there anything anyone can suggest that I'm overlooking? I'm guessing the ultimate thing I need to do is probably clean the carbs...
Cheers guys any suggestions a great help.
