Bike didn't start!

[darrsi]

Could be the ignition switch, try bypassing it

Bypassing the ignition switch?
Isn't that hot wiring?


Bike never started on the centre stand this evening, but as soon as i pushed it off the stand then it started straight away.

Recheck your side stand bypass,clutch switch & wiring connectors to the starter cut off relay under the seat.Does the bike start as normal when left for a short length of time.

Wouldn't start on the centre stand though?
Started fine after getting fuel on the way home earlier.

Next time it don't start take a plug lead off a plug & make sure you got a spark from the cap.

In you case it would be cold wiring 

Let me know if you wan to try it and I will email you how, if anything it would rule out the ignition switch if the problems remains

Bloody thing started fine again this morning, as it has done the last few mornings, but I always have issues after work?
I don't see why it's okay after being in the garage (not heated at all) after sitting 14hrs overnight, yet plays games with me after 9hrs sitting outside work?

I've started using 99 RON fuel in the tank and a bottle of STP Fuel System Cleaner has just turned up, so I wanna run that through it for a few days and see if it helps at all with any possible sticking parts in the carbs.

May be it's work shy. :lol

May be it's work shy. :lol

I which case it would be only too happy to start to get away home.  Maybe it's a workaholic?

Started this morning, lunch time and this evening straight off today.
No shaking the bike or even taking it off the centre stand was needed at all.


I'm happy that it's done that, but i'd really rather know what the problem actually is as well?
"Maybe" the higher grade fuel is doing something?
I've lobbed a whole bottle of STP in this afternoon so fingers crossed anything sticking might get a bit of a clean up with the two liquids combined.


We shall see.......

Does anyone know what would happen with an intermittent TPS?

I have had similar issues on cars and it has been either Cam or Crank sensors!!

Thread is a little old now - but often found on my fazer the battery was a little weak so turning the headlight off would often get it to start. If that fails don't sit they cranking it and flooding it - bump start it if you can.

All lights are always off when i start, and have a new battery.
It cranks fine, just doesn't catch.
In the process of trying something so will report back soon, but off work for now so not using the bike.

Bike just runs like shit on an iffy TPS, on my 4th now, but it's a new one now, rather than used.
And the RPM needle will either mess about by moving, or simply refuse to budge, staying on either 0rpm or 10,000rpm.

Was just reading through this post again looking for something, and the problem did turn out to be sticking parts in the carbs which was TOTALLY  sorted out by using this stuff.
I know it's a funny name but it's been around since 1923 so just allow it.  :lol

I worked out that a quick and easy measurement for around a 20 litre tank was a half a lid full, from a 500ml aerosol can lid, per full tank of fuel.


I used it for the first 3 full tanks, and now i use it once every 4 fill ups as a top up.


Not only does it lubricate the fuel system, but it makes the bike run as smooth as fook.  :thumbup
