yamahaxj6001991 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 update on this problem have drained all the old fuel out of the tank and had the carbs off as well and given them a good clean out and still she wont start going to try new spark plugs next
dt502001 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 If the new spark plugs don't do it then check the pickup coil,if it test ok then your cdi unit may have died.Your bike has 2 coils and the chance of both of them dieing at the same time is about 0.Ru getting any back fire or poping out the exhaust? If the bike was running and then just up and wouldn't start again thats the type of thing cdi units do. It will still spark just at the wrong time you can check it with a timeing light
yamahaxj6001991 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 the bike does back fire just hope that it is not the cdi unit as they are not cheap
