  1. Hi everybody, i've owned this for about 2 years now, it hardly ever gets ridden due to weather/job/time and various other reasons, i have been on a 2 week holiday recently so essentially the bike hasnt been able to stretch its legs for about 6 weeks (terrible i know) A few days ago it was reluctant to start, took the spark plugs out, cleaned them and it was fine again Yesterday was the same, took them out and cleaned again but it was alot more reluctant so i bump started it and let it run for a while Today it is completely dead, spark plugs aren't sparking at all The wiring and fuses look fine in the battery compartment, im no where near mechanically minded so i could only check the "easy bits" I may add some fuel cleaner to it lately just to clear (if there is any) sludge and other nasty stuff laying in the tank and carb After a bit of reading here and a few other sites it looks like its pointing to ignition coils, just wondering for a second opinion Im a pretty confused on this one as it hasn't been moved or jolted or abused due to being somewhat regularly started, just not ridden. Any suggestions at all is a huge help! Many thanks

    Sounds like im wearing leather for ever now. I'm gonna buy one of those body armour vests and a thick leather jacket to go on top. As for my legs, i'm not quite sure yet, i've seen some textile trousers with kevlar technology and other stuff sewn in along with padding which seem useful.

    Sorry, I got another account on here, i forgot which username i had choosen (I usually choose the same-ish username and change a couple of the letters) Which is why i felt no need to introduce myself. Wow thats really great information, i might consider one of these jackets with a 1.3mm cowhide jacket ontop, can never be too protected i guess.

    Uploaded with ImageShack.us Stuff like that I'm assuming they wont work as good as a jacket with armour, but are they good as a little bit more protection on the front/back/kidney if worn underneath a jacket? Or are they just gimmicky crap aimed at boy racers? Any help at all is great
