Hey guys, new girl here.
I am having a lot of trouble with my suzuki. I have had her for about a year (I had the same bike previously, but had a crash - NOT my fault!)
Had no problems until I asked a "family friend" to sell the bike for me, he was supposedly quite handy with bikes, so I trusted him as he was a friend of the family. Months had past and no luck with selling the bike, I was getting quite pee'd off. Then I got a letter through the door from the DVLA saying the tax had ran out and I had to pay a fine or declare sorn, which made me a bit more pee'd off. To cut a long story short I managed to get the bike back, the sneaky basa had push started the bike while I wasn't there so when i went out the back it was already on, so it seemed fine to me.
Once he had left I went to turn it on - with no luck! I thought it might have been the battery so I gave it a charge - still no luck! I cleaned out the carb with still no luck.
I'm not very good when it comes to the inner workings of a bike (only been biking 2 years) so I've been trying google, youtube etc.
A lot of places are saying if you leave the bike for longer than 4 weeks the fuel goes bad, the bike has been lying for around 4 months.
I've had her back for around a month now but I've been too busy with work and too skint to take it to a garage, it may be my last resort because I am running out of idea's.
Sorry if this is a huge book but I am really stressed I would love my bike back up and running again for the good weather coming in.. |

has it been sitting outside and uncovered?? .... has the damp and moisture got in to it?? ...... might need to clean a few connections?
are you getting a good spark??
is the battery any good? = does it hold it`s charge?
fresh fuel is always good
hope this helps you to start looking in the right places  ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Its been sitting in the garage for the time it was away from me, and just now its sitting dry inside.
The battery was always brilliant with me, so I don't really think its anything to do with the battery.
The spark doesn't sound great, I was thinking about having a look at the spark plug but I have never had to take it out so I'm scared I might damage it.
The thing is I managed to push start it a few times, and it worked fine, but then i turned off the engine and went to start it again with no luck.  |
