Oh yeah sorry. Didn't notice that in the first place. My bad. I've been reading about my bike a little and saw that it wasn't set to prime. Then when I tried starting it, the noise it made was like the one of an old horn as someone on this forum has already stated. So I've changed the battery and it doesn't make that noise anymore however, it still doesn't start. Could it be spark plugs or anything else?

Yeah I've lived in Stratford exactly when the Olympics were on. It was a total chaos in there. Now I live nearer to the East Ham and Excel, but still kind of the same area.

Hey there. My name is Adam and I'm just beginning my adventure with motorbikes. I've got a XVS Dragstar 125. I currently live in East London and I am a University student. I've always like the cruisers bike and at the moment I was purchasing my bike I had quite a bit of a choice when it came to choosing my first motorbike. I've read a little bit about them before I've made my final choice to be a XVS Dragstar 125cc

Hello there. I am just starting my adventure with motorbikes and I've bought myself XVS Dragstar 125 recently. It was starting and going fine, however it doesn't start anymore. When I try to start, I press the ignition button and then try to give it some throttle. And here is the problem as the throttle doesn't react at all, but then I can smell some petrol as if it was coming out of somewhere. I've been asking around about this problem, and I've heard that the bike sucked up too much petrol from the tank or something like that?.What could this be, what am I doing wrong and any ideas how I could resolve this problem? Thanks for your help
