Pointy won't start after standing 3 years.
Hi all
I have an SV 650 K4 naked that's been sat in the garage for 3 years. Changed the battery, and it fires up (electrically) - it's got petrol in (old crap though) Won't start though, starter motor turning the cylinders over but nowt except wonderful petrol vapour coming out the exhaust. Spark plugs maybe? KR Martin |

Re: Bike won't start
drain and replace old fuel, then clean of throttle bodies if still not co operative.

Re: Bike won't start
Take the plugs out and either change them or clean them up.They will be flooded with unburnt fuel even if they were ok before.
