okay, i went down to see the bike im gonna be geting VFR 400 NC30. the problem when you press the ignition switch is that the bike tries to start...but it doesnt. the man said he removed the tank and said that when he pressed the ignition and squeezed this pipe kind of thing under the tank. no fuel came out. and said but on his cbr 400 when he did that, the fuel squrted in his face. so the engine must not be getting fuel on the vfr 400 he said. is there anything else that could cause the not starting up? iew. spark plugs. etc?

Could be loads of other things mate but no one could tell you what unless you can be sure it's getting fuel.

if its a none runner, the price should reflect this.

well he said the day before it stopt working it was working prefectly fine.and next day he said it wouldnt start, usually bikes brake down slowly over a period of time. i dont se how it could brake instantly overnight. :|
