The manual states a minimum of 95, runs like shit, so tried the 97 from BP ran smooth as silk then just because it was closer filled it with Tesco fuel and it started having issues with starting.. changed back to bps 97 and it's running sweet as again.

I'm sure it's possible between work! Let me know some plans and I'll take a look

I changed my fuell from Tesco 99 octane momentum to BPs 97 octane, starts immediately and smells fine too now guess it's picky with what you put in to tank. Case closed farts along nicely now.

I was talking about changing the fuel provider from Tesco to no slice thinking it's possibly an additive from the refinery. I've had the bike checked and it's behaved fine at the dealers and when I picked it up but it's now miss behaving as it's cold. I'm going to give them a ring tomorrow see if they can come take a look at it, or if it's dry I'll run it up there. It's not a case of it not starting at all it does eventually start but it sounds like it's straining and takes its sweet time, smells very rich when it then does start until it's warm.

Yeah it's fuell injected I don't use the throttle starting but it still doesn't want to start, Tuesday I'm going to empty the tank and try some different fuel thinking it could be an additive it doesn't like?

Sorted (apparently) got it back from the workshop, they fixed the electrics, serviced it.. got it back with the fairing covered in oil though!! Complained about that and got the service for free too. Got it home, cleaned it looking sweet again... Only problem is it didn't want to start yesterday outside work!! I'm starting to think it doesn't like supermarket fuel!? Next fill up will be BP see if that sorts it out.

Up.yours I wish my missus still tickled my balls.

Yeah I remember lol the nerves take a little while before they're completely gone though. It's great that people are getting bitten by the bug! Welcome and stay safe, this group has a lot of useful advice to give. Where are you from Drunken?

It was brand spanking new out of the crate. I'm not impressed. It messes about when the weather is cold but it's fine the rest of the time. I'll be giving Webb's Yamaha a kicking tomorrow.

There are no others in the area unfortunately. I'm not trying to be funny but I shouldn't be having problems with a brand new bike. Just on break and again it's refusing to start, borrowed my bosses test kit and it's putting out the right current to start. It's just not doing anything.

After 4 attempts it finally cranked but wouldn't fire, 5th attempt it eventually fired. Actually I'm off tomorrow it's going back and they can sort it out or I'll take my money to Honda.

Wouldn't even crank this morning for work. I'm going to raise hell on Monday. Disabled the alarm, put the key in turned the ignition on, hit the starter button it cranked once, the dash went out and the electrics went haywire...

Hey I'd love to know if anyone's been to the Iron Horse in Market Deeping. I went the other day it's fantastic, it's owned by bikers for bikers, friendly bunch live music... Food is astonishing... I mean really!! If anyone's up for a run down I'll have a look at what's on. They regularly have in excess of 300 bikes there from tractor owners clubs to crotch rocket pilots to average Joe.

Thanks for the info gents and ladies (if there were any lol)

Well it's going to be cleaned Friday before I take it to Webb's for servicing on Monday (it's covered in mud looks like I went off roading with it... Love those wet fen roads) Will take pictures after it's been detailed.... Friday's going to be one long ass day. Edit: just a Quicky off topic should I be blipping the throttle on a downshift or just slip the clutch out???
