Thanks to everyone for their help

Well

Got it started

Turned out to be the pulse unit wire between the connector and the icm had corroded

I was about ready to put a sledge hammer through it

Rob

Right Checked the wiring last night, everything is ok except the two wires running from the inpulse generator plug connection to the ICM plug connection These 2 wires are a yellow and a yellow/white, now on the yellow /white wires there is proper circuit as normal but the yellow wire the reading sho...

I'm gonna bang some new plugs in

Btw, fuel is getting to the plugs

Had a look at your last thread http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=102474&highlight=#102474 Could do with a little more detail Has the bike been layed up over winter? (Damp) Has it been under a tarp in a shed in a garage? (Very damp, a bit damp or not damp at all) What kind of mileage...
