fooking storms

Post by fabiostar »

yellow one runs fine, leave it for 4 days and hit the starter and nothing :redface .
fuses all good, all connections seem fine behind the clocks. main fuse ok. but engines not turning over unless i cross the starter solenoid ., no clicks from it mind you when i hit the starter button, new battery aswell full of charge.. also dont seem to be getting a spark.


this firestorm thing is wearing very fooking thin with me off late.
the older i get,the faster i was :lol:

Starter button thrown a wobbler ? Frank has a couple in stock, if you try your blue bikes one & thats the cause... Be happy to send one over...

Whole bike teaching you a lesson for selling it previously ?

Duffy is on to it :thumbup:

I had the same issue yesterday & it was in gear :roll: I gave up as well, the rage was intense.

I was concentrating on the temp gauge at the time & knocked it into gear whilst goofing around.

Anyone know if they lose all its oil if the cooler pipes are removed whilst it's upright?

One is above the oil level and one is below the level when sitting upright :thumbup:
