taff_d Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I removed the Bank Sensor and the bike still would not start it was trying to start but just would not go, pulled the plug out and it was jet black and very sutty put a new plug in and it started 2nd kick. Hopefully all sorted now I'm think it was a mixture of freezing cold weather and a dodgy plug. I never knew the bike had a bank sensor so at least I've eliminated possible future problems. Thanks for all your help Edited November 30, 2015 by taff_d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 4rt's are (mine was anyway) the most reliable starters out there. Rule 1 dont adjust anything if its running ok. Rule 2 if it doesnt start after 3 kicks reset and it then fires up next kick. You should not be kicking it anymore than this. (unless you have left the tilt sensor on) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unless you have left the tilt sensor on) or put a freshly sprayed/oiled air filter in - they definitely don't like that!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 That was the other tip i had, change the plug every 3 months or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
