hi all, just bought my first big bike, bought as a project til i pass my test.

having problems starting her up, shes turning over but not firing, so thinking no spark, can any one give me some pointers to check please.

also noticed this wire stareing at me, but cant see where it bolts too

seems to go from here, where it says 32.

and yes i know the brake pedal is bent

Negative terminal on the battery

thought that but its too short?

Need to confirm plugs are sparking

Pull lead off one plug, unscrew the plug from the engine, reconnect the lead to the plug, rest the plug on the engine casing sp that it wont fall off and the plug metal is in contact with the engine metal, try to start and look for spark at the plug tip (its easier if someone is holding the plug in contact)

the problem of non starting can be the kill switch, about wire terminal,

i'll check mine......

sits right below, just immediately under the battery it's an earth i think.

see the two grey wires touching the bottom of the battery in your first picture

well, that's where your terminal goes, bolts to lower part of the battery tray

Naomi, that wire is an earth to the frame, I just removed mine.

If you remove the battery there are two bolts in the bottom of the plastic tray it goes there.

Hope you get it started soon...
