My apologies on not uploading a picture of my pride and joy (my face says it all really). Haven't got a name for her yet (suggestions are welcome).
I'm from South Wales and bought the bike from a private seller in Stafford. So it's a bit of a journey to take it back sadly.
I did ring the guy earlier and he did say the bike had been standing for a while with a fair amount of petrol in it. So I'm thinking possible cause of problem? She was almost empty very close to home, so I've put some nice, fresh 98 octain petrol in it.
On checking the service book too, found out it was last serviced in 2014 when it had 12350 miles on the clock. It's now 2016 and has 12945 mile on it. So I've bought oil, oil filter, air filter and spark plugs and intend to give it a service. What are the service intervals on a 54 plate fz6n.
If the petrol and service doesn't do the trick, I'll have to work through systematically everything you guys have suggested.
Sadly, I won't be able to do anything to it for a while as I have to go away with work :'(
Thanks again
Shall keep you posted
