Hi, not be on for a while due to not using bike
I put the bike away for the winter about 2 months premature,
Went to start the bike up yesterday and it wouldnt run
The engine turned over but just wouldn't start !! I had choke on full and fual was in the bike , any ideas why and if I am storing bike over the winter is there any think I should do to the bike to stop this happening again? Thanks

hi have u checked the battery . Thay can go flat with lack ov use .And thay dont like the cold. Will it bump start?

The bike cranks over fine , just won't start , not bump it yet ,

Fuel tap on? Fuel line hasnt split?

The fuel tap is on

Fully charge the battery

Full choke no throttle.

Try that first. I've had them that will crank but not start.

also.. kill switch isn't on is it?

Fuel has probably evaporated from the float chambers.

Neo, u always no lol
When I was 1st trying to start the bike with full chock I realised I had the kill switch on but turned it off and still wouldn't start, might have flooded it , I'll charge battery and try again , thanks for all help , is there any think I should do to the bike while storing over winter ?

How are you storing it?

If it's in a place you can start it and run it for a bit then I wouldn't take any special precautions other than full tank.

Once a week, two weeks at most start it up and warm it up (2 - 4000rpm) and let it run until the fan kicks in, stops and then kicks in again, this will get everything hot enough to get the moisture out the oil etc.

Does fuel still get pumped to the carbs with the kill switch on? Just asking, like, as it may be the reason for my slight engine flooding last night...
