Kawasaki ZX6r G2

OK appreicate that I haven't come on hear much however I have a problem with my bike (model in the subject line).

I came back from Germany with the bike running ok but on the round trip around 1200 miles I used about 1/2 ltr of oil. Since coming back which was september I have not turned a wheel, so went out to the garage and the bike wont start. So far I charged the battery, swapped out the plugs as they needed doing, and found the fourth HT lead (offside when sat on the bike) to be damp and a little oil on the spark plug. The bike will still not fire, I can smell the fuel going through the system - so what am I missing?

I have limited mechanic skills and would rather try to sort it myself than take it to a dealer as I don't gain any experience. So if anyone can offer advice or offer a hand and are local to West Swindon help would be appreciated - I can offer tea coffee beer and food.

Cheers

Stuart

Cam position sensor? Get a multimeter on it. Are you getting a spark on all 4 cyclinders? Have you put the ht leads on in correct order?

May seem obvious but have you checked the KILL switch mate ?

If you can smell fuel then I would say it is most likely an electrical problem but unfortunately thats not something i'm very good at

Thanks for the reply guys.

Mitch - I don't have a multimeter, and like Simon am not too good with electrics, can't tell if I am getting a spark on the cylinders as you have to take the tank off the bike completly - so can't get fuel to bike. The HT leads were removed one at a time (to ensure this didn't happen.

Simon - Good call on the kill switch, can't imagine I would be so silly to foget that :-[ ! Will check it when I finish work tomorrow morning.

Does the engine turn over when the starter is pressed and still not run or does it not turn over at all?

[kwak_zx6r]

The bike turns over, just doesn't fire. As said I'll check the kill switch first (hopefully won't be that).

Does the fuel pump prime when you turn on the ignition?

Rig up an old washing up liquid bottle or sumsuch with a bit of hose, one plug at time, you need to check spark. Cam position sensors know to fail on these, you really need a multimeter to check resistance. Also you can check resistance across the coild packs.

Hi Kwak Got a multimeter & timing light and a fair amount of electrical & mechanical knowledge pm me if you need help

[kwak_zx6r]

Right all,

Thanks for the replies so far, I have checked and its not the kill switch (few)

Mitch - I'll try that, at least I can test the plugs as you say.

Gunterpot i've pm'ed you.
