    is a little odd jack as you road home from sally ok, was there a strong smell of fuel when you were trying to start it would expect this if it were ignition related, as scotty suggested worth checking the contents of the fuel tank, if it looks low switch over to reserve tap, if your sure the fuel is getting through then remove a plug as davey suggested,if your able to do this just rest the plug on the cylinder head/stud bare metal to ensure good earth and give the starter a few short bursts to check for a spark,watch you dont get a belt from the plug or ht lead if you have your hand on it best of luck

    Give Bike Treads (Swindon) a call & ask for Gav (WB Member) I am sure he'll be of help.

    I was gonna suggest engine kill switch too, is it in gear? some bike's wont fire if they are in gear!! As davey said try bump starting it first before you do anything, also check all the fuses in case one has blown.

    Best of luck

    Thanks for all the advice ,checkd all the usuall stuff, Got power to HT coils and fuel punp, but still think their is no spark ? couldnt see if the fuel pump was working as i had the fuel tank off, and no fuel to pump lol.

    It will need someone that see's this sort of thing more often and know what they are doing,

    Will try that No at Bike Treads see what they say ,

    Just hope it dont cost alot,or the bike is staying at the garage till i can pay :'(
