Welcome to the forum Shadow

can you get it home Connor.. have you got breaksdown cover? you will get a better response in the evening than daytime

Did you get that in writing? it would be more useful. we already knew that but it would be more use in writing...can you forward me an email?

But where are you...UK...USA...Timbuktoo? Assuming UK any Yamaha dealer or agent should be able to supply I use Manchester Xtreme (its a motocross shop) and the owner can be bothered, top marks to them

Happy birthday Cynic, BIG FOUR-O Have a good one mate

Greetings Alan, first bike eh? a 600 with L plates

On these bikes the oil level is taken WITHOUT having the dipstick screwed down.

How about an intro in the noobs forum? About 1/2 way is usual with the bike upright

ragged to death I suppose, my daughter had a metro (car) stolen some years ago, it was recovered with a blown engine and the spark plugs had melted

The stand switch is worth further investigation. Check the black/White wire insulation isnt chaffed and shorting to the frame or any metal

No offence een but..

Beats Jasper Carrot

Nice choices NEO and welcome in ...I've owned my DTMX 79 from new and yours looks like a 78 to me.

shouldnt matter with the neutral light on but worth a check..

Greetings from rainy glossop baz

Happy birthday merv

you really are terrible with electrics if you are looking for a spark you need to hold the metal body of the plug against the metal of your engine (usually the cylinder head). If you just hold it in thin air it will never spark.

Charge the battery Dave, Ohh and check the level of the cells

Are you holding the spark plug metal body to ground on the cyl head when checking?

Try other spark plugs, you should have a few spares?

I dunno what interlocks the starter may have if any but check the kill switch is off and the neutral light is on and dont take the huff because I asked.
