Might be a drained battery.

Check that first.

Then check all your connections.

also the bike will bump if the ignition is off when its on the back wheel wont move like its siesed up

Bump?

As TT said check your battery connections and the connections to the starter solenoid and engine ground connection. Then re charge your battery.

If your engine will turn when you bump it (Bumpstart) and the ignition is off then it cant be seized so should also turn the engine with the ignition on, just make sure you try in second or third gear

Just had the exuaust off and it looks like the top ring is pressed in my m8 reckons the piston is getting stuck when the power valve sets its self when u turn the ignition on explaining why the bike will move when the ignition is off and why it wont move with the ignition on jon

Oh, I understand now - Use of the occasional comma would help, dude.

I thought you were somehow bumping it on the centrestand with the bike tilted onto the back wheel!!

Are you saying a bike can bumpstart with the ignition off?

My mind says that's impossible... But I have taken the front off a Honda M50 (Jing Chen copy) and it's continued running...

Weird stuff.

no m8 i mean if i knock it into second i can move the bike in gear with the clutch out if the ignition is off when the ignition is on the rear wheel just locks up thats y my m8 thinks the piston is hitting the power valve when i turn the ignition on
