Hi there I'm new here and I'm looking for a little help please. I have a 07 plate blade and it's not starting. When you turn the ignition on the pump primes but then it just turns over. Seems to be no spark. Has anyone got any ideas please?

 

Have you got any fault codes up

 

no fault codes atall

 

Have you had the direct ignition coils out to check for no spark , or can it be fuel related, also check neutral ,sidestand and clutch switches :0

 

the aa checked the coils and said they was a signal. I'll check the side stand and clutch switches

 

Hi if the AA saw a signal at the coils then you must have a spark , more likely to be fuel related, have you had the tank off lately?

 

haven't had the tank off but have been useing fuel from a local garage. Could poor fuel cause a issue?

 

Could if its got dirt in it, but after saying that ,the bike is 10 year old , when was the last time (to your knowledge) the pump was looked at, could even be pinched fuel line , but unlikely if you've not had the tank off, most likely though blocked fuel pump, was it acting up in any way before it stopped

 

it's been running fine. Not sure when the pump or filter was looked at last.

 

Hi do you have a workshop manual for the 07, if not you can download an 04-06 and a 08-14 off the net they will be close enough to do any fault finding with the fuel pump, but remember if you take the tank off the fuel line is under pressure , but after saying that if nothing comes out it will show the pump is blocked
