Re: K5 - not starting
 

I seem to remember this bike is pretty grungy?

I would have a look round all other electrics you can find and give them a dose of ACF50

Re: K5 - not starting
 

Yep it's been stood for a long time. It's had a good wash and all the plastics and brakes removed. I'm just taking my time going over everything I can think of from top to bottom. Once I get the electrics sorted, oil & filter changed, calipers overhauled, new fluids and pads fitted, I'll be checking the valve clearances and maybe the CCT. I have some v. low mileage sprockets and might pick up a new chain (although I'll be cleaning up the existing one first to see what nick it's in).

Just by way of an update, I spliced and soldered a new length of wire in and she starts and runs like a dream now!

Can you remember which fuse this went to as have a similar problem except mine occured whilst riding the bugger leaving me wthe revs reading about 5000 due to total loss of signal. Mine won't try to turn over though.

That sound like dodgy Battery connections to me mate, unless you can see any obvious wiring damage?

Re: K5 - not starting
 

I'm pretty sure it's the fuse marked fuel...
