ok so I took teelas ZZr 250 out for a run and a fuel up today. after i fuled up, it would not start, and would not turn over, after a couple of button presses it wound over till it started.... i got it back to leo's and once it stopped it would not start again and did the above... i have recorded the bike, any advice at all! once piece so far is it is the battery?
Sounds like the battery is doing its job ...... but I would be checking to see if any fuel is getting to the carbs and/or if there is any spark.
Stay calm Streak, don't panic just because there is only a few days left. Sounds like no fuel getting into cylinders. What happens with the choke on? Is fuel tap in correct position? Clean filter? Hope this helps.
Doesn't sound like its getting fuel, do you have an in-line filter ? maybe its blocked , try it on reserve , see if she fires Chris
By all meas, check the petrol ways. But it really sounds like a weak battery. In the start of the clip, you can hear the battery can't turn the engine over. Then it turns, but sounds weak. If the battery is weak, it will crank, but will not have enough power to produce a healthy spark, and you will get no ignition. That will eventually foul the plugs as well. Do you have a long, steep driveway to try a push start?
Well get this....went to Leo's place armed with all the information and advice I had been given here and on the ST owners forum.... And... Apart from it being a little difficult to start because it was cold, bike ran perfectly, rode it around the streets for ten min, fine, not a skip, so I have no idea, we in some carby cleaner to just give it a flush through anyway.... Bloody bikes...
