is there petrol in it?

**Gixxerguy** · 10-10-2009, 09:33 AM

Have you turned the fuel tap from off to on? I forgot once and my bike only ran for a minute or so.

Kawasaki fuel pumps and relays are bad.
Maybe also you got some dodgy fuel esp from BP.

I put some 91 in mine from BP and ran like absolute shit. But not straight away, it was a few days later did it start playing up.

take a plug out and see if its all black and gunged up.

there is petrol in it and the fuel tap is on... never had a problem with this bike b4.. i only use 98 vortex.

As potato says take a plug out and see if it's gummed up, while you have it out (and cleaned if neccasary) earth it and see if you get a spark when you turn the engine over. That will mostly rule out an electrical problem, you should have a strong spark. Though it does sound like a fuel problem.

Edit: don't hold the plug or lead while you turn the engine over!!! Danger!!!

yeah im pretty sure its a sensor or a fuel pump prob...

**axl100** · 10-10-2009, 01:58 PM

its got me fucked big time...

**Maxo** · 10-10-2009, 02:21 PM

have you checked for a spark?

**axl100** · 10-10-2009, 03:01 PM

its got spark!!!! i have no multi meter....

**Desmo** · 10-10-2009, 03:11 PM

When you turn the ignition on, can you hear the fuel pump whirring?

**axl100** · 10-10-2009, 03:23 PM

no i can here the juction box making a noise when you hit the start button..

**Cbr1k** · 10-10-2009, 04:43 PM

You sure its not the solenoid engaging from a flat battery?

**axl100** · 10-10-2009, 05:23 PM

nothing wrong with the battery...

**smeghead** · 10-10-2009, 05:32 PM

.. if it's got spark then it must be fuel related; both of these are, or can be, affected by a poor battery. When I had a weak battery on my 03 ZX6RR racebike it wouldn't fire as it didn't have enough juice to run the fuel pump & ECU properly & also crank over the bike. Try charging the battery & then get someone to help you bump start it to reduce the battery load.

Do you know where the fuel filter is? It might be blocked.

**axl100** · 11-10-2009, 03:05 AM

hey mate there is heap of juice left in the battery..

**Mad Mel** · 11-10-2009, 10:10 AM

Sounds like a fuel pump/relay problem. If it is being pig headed take the plugs out and spray a small amount of petrol in each cylinder, replace the plugs, and let her fire up again. Sometimes this will be enough to get her going. I'd check all relay connections under the seat. Take them apart, give em a shake and spray with wd40, then see how you go.

Relay switches will fnck you unfortunately.
