Default Good news ... Great News ... Bad news...

Good News -
Got My battery back today fully Charged..... Fitted it but still nothin from the Engine...
Clutch Lever Arrived - Fitted that while fitting that found a cable unplugged plugged it in.

Removed broken, mirror and break resevoir (looks like the bracket is bent a little...)

Great News !!!!!!!!!!!!! My baby LIVES - Starts 1st time WOOOOOHOOOO (Maybe te cable near the Clutc lever or chaning the lever did something)

Bad News ... Firing only on 1 Cylinder. .... hmmmm
Decides to check Spark plugs .... a cup off coffee and 10 mins on google later ... Find 1st plug under tank ... Removes and tries to start it and nothing starts so replaces it and fires one cyclinder again. so it aint that plug.. back to google..... Finds 2nd plug in the most akward place ever under the front radiator .... The cap had come offand was dangling under the fairing... removed plug after 20 mins of ****ing about trying to remove the plug i spot a bolt to move the radiator forward checked it for damage and replaced still only firing on one cyliner but i think that is because it is full off unburnt fuel will wait till tomorrow and see if it dries out.... and try again .....

Wish me luck ... Will keep you upated ... hopefully my screen, brake resevoir and indicator will arrive tomorrow...

That'll be the clutch cut out switch, I always bypass them as they can be right pain in the butt.

That front plug is a right pain to change isn't it

Defo getting sparks on both plugs too em out and earthed them... then started them.... good spark on both .... we found a loose cable underneath..... Some one has told me possibly it could be a carb float problem.... my boss thinks it is the loose wire underneath.... I am unsure...

Lol, we've all done something like that. I spent about 10 mins the other day checking all the fuses and connections as mine wouldn't start only to then realise the the kill switch was off
