My bike will not start — what should I do?

Quick answer

Work through the basics first: check there is fuel, the kill switch is off and the side-stand is up. If the dash is dead or the crank is slow, it is usually the battery. Call 02269711329 and a mechanic is dispatched with a jump pack and spares.

A slow crank with dim lights points to the battery; a healthy crank with no fire points to fuel delivery or the spark plug; nothing at all points to the starter relay, a fuse or a switch. Knowing which of the three you have makes the phone call faster — and the fix, once the mechanic arrives, is usually one of those same causes.

Related questions

Can you come to where the bike is parked?

Yes — that is the point of emergency repair: the mechanic rides to your location with a jump pack and spares.

What if it is the fuel pump?

Fuel-delivery faults are diagnosed on site; if the pump needs replacement the part is quoted and fitted, or the bike is recovered for the repair.
