Hi Guys

Well managed to get the bike to fire up. How do I know if the fuel has gone off?

The bike fires up to life but I have to hold the throttle on otherwise it just dies - is this what happens to 'off fuel'

Cheers
Buggy

Thanks guys - my thoughts were blocked jets/off fuel too

Pete.L - yep there is s spark from the plug. Not sure about the fuel as yet.

Sirch - last ride was Oct at Rockingham

Hi Guys

Any advice appreciated - tried to start the bike up after the winter and it won't start.

Have checked:

kill switch - off
battery - full charge
main fuse - ok
spark plug - clean/spark
fuel in chamber - wont start

The engine turns over but wont kick into life

Cheers
Buggy

Condolences to all the family think we all need to re evaluate every now and again - ride safe everyone

Oooohh ..... I do like but I do like most things VTR

Yep..... so is mine, all washed,polished, connected to the charger, under a blanket and under a cover in the garage and when he gets his out the way I'll put it up on the paddock stands.

Thanks for all the input everyone - much appreciated

LotusMan any chance of a closer pic where the mount is pls?

That was lucky

Something similar happened to me mate who bought some heated grips - they had put them by the dustbins ........ lo n behold, they were gone when he got home

Hi Mark

Well.........£250 ish would be pushing it a bit what with the credit crunch and xmas around the corner, was thinking £150 max. I know £100 ain't much but........if I'd be wasting my money then I'd rather wait a bit and save a bit more.

Thanks
Buggy

Thanks for the replies. Stormin and Stratman so the pic is ok ish?

Lotusman would be good hear what your views are.

Timbo I looked at the Archos and a few others in that price range but sadly can't really stretch to that, very nice bit of kit tho

Anyone got a helmet/bullet cam? Or does anyone know anything about them apart from some being very expensive - have been looking at the Oregon ATC3K

Thanks
Buggy

I got one that is intergrated indicators as I got high level cans (also went through the MOT no probs) - my mates do complain its hard sometimes to see my rear indicator when in bright sunshine.

Yes they do make shortie brake and clutch levers, I got both mine from Promoto Imex Business Kings Road Tyseley Birmingham B11 2AL http://www.bikerbook.co.uk/Buggy52/albums/268/16597 http://www.bikerbook.co.uk/Buggy52/albums/268/16598 I'm not very good at posting pics so if you can't see a pic go to...

Glad things are looking good for you VTRgirl
