Are you from the UK? Just the way you say footy, as for the bike does it strat and then backfire or just turn over but not fire?

 

yes mate im from the uk suffolk my bike dont start at all it turns over ok then backfires???.

 

drain the fuel tank
and put new fuel in it
check the battery

 

Sounds like some crap maybe blocking your jets, if the battery was playin up it wouldn`t turn over or would to it slower than normal. Draining the tank may help, i`d check the condition of the plugs too, usually gives you a good indication of whats happening.

 

Like every internal combustion engine, you have to determine if you are getting gas and a spark in the cylinder. I would put the choke on and try and start it again. Then I would take the battery out and put it on charge. Meanwhile, I would take out each spark plug and observe them. Are they all the same? Are they wet with gas? Black? Dry? I put them in numbered holes in cardboard as I take them out so I know which plug is bad. If cylinders 2 and 3 are wet and others fine, I know a coil may be bad. If every plug is wet, then there's an ignition problem or a safety switch problem. If all the plugs are dry, you have a fuel problem.

Then I would put the charged-up battery in, put new plugs in the wires, lay them on the valve covers, and start the engine. If all the plugs are firing, I would install the plugs and see why fuel isn't getting to the cylinders. Out of fuel, petcock off, lines kinked, fuel pump not operating, fuel filter clogged, etc.

 

hey thank you all very very much you lot ROCK! . I'll try all that at the weekend and thanks again i can't wait to get back on it. gotta learn how to do a catty LMAO i wish!

 

A few months ago my former 900RR didn't start like yours(Carb style and all), but after much madness, I drained all the fuel and replaced it with fresh go juice and it started after the 2nd try. Had I known this first off, I would have not been dizzy trying everything else to get her to run. Hondas, just flip the switch with the right stuff in place and no worries. Ruined my week initially, but a big right after the second try with new fuel! Cheers!
