Moderator Snakebite68 Posted March 15, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 15, 2022 The problem may be that we get a lot of people coming in, asking one question, then never replying again. Might be an idea to go make a post in the 'New Members' area, introducing yourself & so on... It may be that we need more sentences and punctuation (my favourite), long single sentence rambles often confuse people! Or, it's possible no one has a clue (most likely)... Have you got any more information? It's pretty thin on the ground at the moment. Does the engine make any 'pinging' noises when you turn it off? Is it running at a steady temperature? Is there plenty of liquid in the radiator? In the 30mins or so that it won't start, does it turn over as normal? Or is there nothing happening? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hi yeah the bike runs fine with no issues when running you can ride it for hours and will stay at running temperature Doesn't over heat or that And no noises when you turn it off But as soon as you turn it off when it's hot it won't start up again But will crank fine and fast enough as to where the starter is getting enough power to turn it over but just won't start But once you have let it cool down to roughly 100 degrees Fahrenheit it will start back up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Carry a spare plug and check if you're getting a spark, or whether it is a fuel evaporation issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely a bad engine temp sensor. There is usually 2 one for you and 1 for the fi. If the fi one is a bit flakey the bike might be trying to start 'on choke' when hot. Ybrs suffer similar problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
