Bandit 600 please help

[Cashy85]

So my bandit has been sat for 6 month new starter new plugs battery is fine multi metered every inch of the damn thing its trying to fire but not turning over even used easy start and nothing any one have any ideas

Is it not turning over, or not firing? Can’t tell from what you wrote.

If it’s turning over but not firing I’d suspect knackered fuel, try draining the tank and put
Some fresh petroleum in?

Edit: my phone autocorrected to petroleum, I don’t actually talk like that!

checked youve got a spark at the plugs?
checked the fuel tap?
kill switch?
side stand sensor?

I think that is a most excellent way to speak!

I occasionally suggest we need to pull over to obtain some ‘petroleum essence’ which is greeted, at best, with an eye roll but normally something along the lines of ‘why are you such a dick?’!

To the Bandit. I agree with what has been said.

If it dies not even splutter with easy start, and you are spraying on the intake side of the carbs, the it is likely either carbs blocked (gone off fuel) or no spark.

Iv stripped and cleaned the carbs it has brand new plugs in every now and then it splutters but isn't starting new fuel in the tank and from what I can tell it is sparking oh the petroleum comment made me not set fire to the bike to busy chuckling

[A500leroy]

have you checked the fuel filter is not blocked /on the correct way?

[Onelastattempt]

Are you sure the fuel tap is in the correct position?
The " pri " position should only be used when the tank has been run dry or emptied then only for enough time to fill the float bowls.
Is there enough fuel in the tank to have the tap set to the " on" position or if you have only put a small amount in does the tap need to be on the " res " position?

Turns out some (insert randome insult here) had put the coil pins on the wrong way she fired in with a mighty roar then died again and now drained the battery trying to fire her in so it's on charge now and will try again later thanks for the help so far chaps
