Hi and welcome to the forum.

I see they have changed the CBT again. At least they kept the figure of eight in it.

Another e-petition that may be of interest to UK members. Introduce a 30 year road tax exemption. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/183 I have signed it.

Oh, hello!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

At least you are getting somewhere. It could be the relay. I hope guess you have checked; The engine run button was set to on. The clutch was pulled in (not sure if it applies to this model but some bikes need the clutch in and in neutral to start them) You should, with the ignition off, undo the starter motor +ve connector, Put a tester to this and earth, turn on the ignition and push the starter. If you get a voltage reading then it could be the starter or starter isn't earthed. If you get nothing then it is further up the chain between the starter and the battery, check the smaller fuses also as there could be one for the starter as well as the main fuse. You could also run a thick wire from the battery +ve to the starter +ve terminal to see if it spins.Wires can get hot, melt and burn. I would do this with a jump lead. Only do these tests if you are confident you know what you are doing. and touching anthing from the +ve side to the frame or earth is NOT a good idea.

No worries One fundamental question I didn't ask is; have you ever had it running or had the lights come on? If you haven't then the worry is someone has er........................ attempted to fix it already. If you have then this part should be pretty simple. Another check is that the battery earth is actually earthing. There are a few wiring diagrams around on Tinterweb. You may have to zoom in to this one. http://i40.photobuck...02/DSCF0026.jpg

If you have no power to anywhere then it should only be something that stops more than one thing from working. A dodgy rectifier etc. wont do this as the lights will come on. Get a multimeter - or a bulb connected to 2 wires like an old indicator and test the electrical circuit from the battery. Always from the +ve of the battery to; Battery to frame earth Battery to main fuse, before fuse battery to main fuse, after fuse Battery to fuse box Etc. Make sure the ignition is on, although some of the tests do not need this. If you have no power to anything I would be surprised if it was as far from the battery to the fuse box as it will split past this so you would have power to something.

Pretty Pi$$ poor first post in my opinion.!!

Assuming the battery is charged and fitted correctly, main fuse?

So from the biggest issue being "awareness for bikers", you have decided that bikers should do more! This obviously means more expense for us. Plus it will then probably be made compulsory, be part of the MOT and we would get points if the batteries ran out part way through a ride for "failure to comply". I do not consider it being a good idea, whether it was retro or designed in. I have seen these on cyclists helmets. A retro fit would have to not disturb the integrity of the helmet. Not really an engineering project. Easily knocked up with a medium set of Meccano or Lego Tecnik. Also, one of the beauty's of expensive helmets is that they are light. Not sure what a battery pack would do for that feature. If the answer to drivers being more aware of bikers is lights, then add the lights to the bike. This solves the majority of issues with a helmet light! Give everyone involved in an accident a minimum of 3 points and £100 fine, this would also help the economy. Can you design a bikers disintegration ray gun to blast anyone who pulls out on us?

Looks in focus to me..................................................................... A good little project 2wheels. I am not sure you are going to get all of your stuff on it for Squires though!!

Too many, but not as many as OG!! Good find BTW OG.

I will second that Drewps. Have a great birthday.

The floats not working, the float needles not closing or the float heights too high, normally.

I think the IP board software has a mod that can do that but it would be set by the owner. In firefox if you rightclick the link and chose "open link in new tab", it will do that for you.

Put some fuel in it and see what happens. Don't forget to make sure the 2 stroke oil is in it and the oil pump has been bled.
