Hey guys, new on here. Well here's my story. i have a 98 f3 that has no spark. A couple years ago I had it running, went outta town for the weekend, and when i came back I started the bike and let it warm up. When i got on and put it in first it slowly died. I checked the plugs and i had no spark, got new plugs and nothing, same problem, If anyone has an idea of what went wrong, let me know. I really dont wanna pay a shop 80 bucks an hour to tell me it might be something simple i could have done. thanx

 

Have you checked the ignitors to make sure they're connected?

 

^^^ +1 to that .... and I also would personally be checkin out the timing pulse generator sensor ... I couldn't see all your plugs and coils going out at the same time :\ ...

 

Am I reading this right ? The bike hasn't been running for a couple of years ? If so, then I'm thinking battery and carburetor cleaning, fresh gas and whatnot. Have you been riding it since then (a couple years ago)?

 

the bike broke and i then it sat. i took the gas out before it sat. when i was trying to get it running a couple years ago the batt. was good, but it might be bad now, the carb. was cleaned a couple years ago

 

I'm also being told by others that have cbr's that i should check my fuse boxes, the problem is that i can only find 1 and thats by the right handle. They say i have another one but no one seems to know where it is. If anyone can tell me where it is that would help me out

 

hey thanx, all i did was pull the ignitor and plugged it back in and she fired right up

 

if shes been sitting for a few years, there might be a few things I would personally do before I hit the road again, but that's just me:

flush the rad.
new dot4 brake fluid.
new gas.
run seafoam through it.
new oil.
new filter.
new battery/trickle charge it back to 13v
air in tires/new tires depending.

also, not a huge issue usually, but new brakes if the condition was bad (clean with 2.00 brake cleaner from walmart)

 

I did the oil gas and new batt. already, i plan on seafoaming, would i put that in the gas tank, cuz when i seafoam my truck i put it in the vaccum line, and how much would you suggest i use

 

i think it says the amount on the bottle
1 bottle treats 25galon,

about a quarter of a bottle per tank is what i use.
