Ran perfectly yesterday - today won't start.
Plugs are clean, dry and sparking. Battery good. Can't find anything wrong. Any ideas???

Define battery good... as in, lift the tank and measure with a volt meter voltage at the coils (orange /white wire) when the starter is turning the motor over. If over 11v...then yes, battery is good. Anything under, you need to fix.

the plugs shouldn't be completely dry either.. you may not be getting fuel.. hold the choke on and crank for a while. look at the plugs and see if there soaking wet from fuel
the easiest way to tell if its fuel is to squirt some fuel into the carbs and crank it over. if it runs on that then dies your not getting gasLast edited by boomer_95; 09-29-2012, 08:00 AM.Comment

Cheers guys. Plugs are not getting too wet but I think spark is weak. What can be done to improve it? I suspect petrol delivery problem but this shouldn't just dry up overnight on both feeds. Battery turns starter briskly and has not showed signs of weakening but will check voltage at coils. Bike ran great yesterday, maybe the hammer is the best solution.Comment
