xmastree Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hmm, when my XJ750 did that it was because I had the plug leads on wrong. I had 1&3 together, and 2&4 when it ought to have been 1&4 and 2&3. Might be worth checking, what bike is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
