Trouble starting

T

Tiddsey

Hi all, i'm new to this forum, but seeings as i now own my dream bike (rsv mille 02 black and red) i thought i'd make my first post.

Now the problem is i went away for christmas and so the bike sat in the garage for a good 3 weeks unused. I came back and tried to start it up to no avail. I tried until i eventually flattened the battery.

So a few hours on charge i tried again and no joy.
I have had all four spark plugs out and checked all the ht leads and theyre all sparking strong

the fuel is definately gettin in, as the plugs were wet and i could smell fuel.

I bought a cold start spray but it hasnt worked.

The bike was working fine before i left it for 3 weeks.
 
are you doing it right full cold start no throttle full battery and hit the starter button (not literally)
 
lol yep, i've tried it all correctly. i'm just all out of ideas

i think i might strip off the fairings and stick some heaters near it so get rid of any condensation
 
Dont go on any further without charging the battery full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sprag damge sill occcur if you hammer the starter button without a good battery.

Dont touch the accelerator only use the cold start.
 
get the battery on an optimate.....if still no luck get new battery and look after it.....optimate rules!!
