Yes I too find that surprising, still the Honda Varadero to check out though.

what about the V strom 650 or 1000, lots of accessories to be had for those things by way of screens etc. Dont think yamaha have a version of it but Honda do, 'Gas up lets go' has had the Honda and will give you a no bull account of those.

Welcome to the YOC forum Barry.

You say it has fuel, do you mean there's fuel in the tank or the spark plug is wet with fuel? If the plug is not wet with fuel you need to 1 Verify a good flow to carburettor 2 Strip carb and check the pilot jet isn't blocked

Yep its been a typical March day and ive got a garage (single) thats so full of stuff that I cant do anything in there, I'm frustrated too!!!

Post a picture of the job and we'll have a better idea!

Have you got your old one, cant you take it into a bike shop or a car parts store? can you post a picture of it? I think it might be a 6v american pre focus Try Google you will find loads of them, they look like This

You stick to Terra Firma mate The more firmer the less........ I'll get me coat now!! Although I must say, I was once a passenger in a micro light aircraft, it was like a hang glider with an engine...WOW, what an experience that was.!!!!

Welcome to the YOC forum mrmoog potholing or re-incarnation?

You can PM the guy who is selling parts though just to see if he has a pump

Cant stop warching it, it is indeed a cornflake sprayer.

Have you seen this thread Here parts for sale

Good stuff TS

Welcome to the YOC forum gravesone have a word with member 01jarno about the pump

Yes you could check for spark but I expect that will be ok, its a new bike to you, It could just be that you havnt learned the Knack to starting it yet. If the plug is wet, leave it out for a while to dry out and try again.

Could be a dodgy side stand switch, give it a good spray with WD40, check the connector etc.

Hi, I'm not familiar but would hazard a guess thet that pipe you are seeing is either the fuel tank vent pipe or oveflow (for over filling) pipe and therefore not the cause of your problem. are you using the choke properly to start the bike? it is usual to use choke and little or no throttle until the motor is running.
