028glendon Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Thanks for all your comments i will do my best to answer all info! When i first got the bike i had to change the battery as it wouldnt hold a charge. after this it was ok for a few months but then in the cold weather it wouldnt start from cold. thought it was just bad winter cos it stopped a few times but was able to get it going alright. Eventually it wouldnt start anymore. As it stands now i still cant bump start it. When the key is in the ignition and starter button is pressed the starter motor turns over but no spark is going to coils - just makes whirring sound. Mechanic kept trying one thing after another buying parts saying this could be the problem..... replaced wiring harness, cdi relay and other relays then rectifier unit and finally the coils - in that order. This has been over the past 4 months - he now says he doesnt know where else to look but i have a hefty bill to pay! How could the Repairs have made things worse???!! As for well meaning mechanics - i am beginning to wonder.... I don't think it has an immobiliser and as for factory spec I dont know either maybe you need to tell me more about this? The mileage is approx 28000 but as i still dont have my bike back i cant give the exact figure!!! Appreciate the help and advice i am out so much money at the minute i dont want to have to just scrap the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmac1690-R6 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 what i would do mate, is make sure youre getting a spark from the coils, pull the coils out, remove spark plugs, and put them into the coils, and one at a time, turn the engine over and ensure there is a spark, if you are getting a spark, then you can check the fuel supply, remove pipes and turn over engine, you will have petrol running out. have you tried a compression test ? you need over 100psi to get an engine firing up, this would be a last resort i think, but could be an option, and handy to see what youre engine is doing ! another fault could be the fuel pump, make sure its pumping fuel, either remove it and run petrol through it, or get a pipe to it with some fuel in a can, check all fuses ! thats all i can think of mate, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted May 7, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 7, 2010 make sure the battery has 12.5 volts or the cdi won't work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
