Hey guys,
So last night I picked up my first bike a YamahViagra 250, really happy with it and drove it home from Wicklow to Dublin with no problems, once the engine got warm she was fine, the guy I bought it from said it had been lying up for a few months....however this morning she wouldn't start for me. I had the choke on , the fuel lever in the right position and tried giving her a bit of gas aswell but she was just turning over and making a buzzing noise in the engine....anybody any idea of something else I can try, majorly disapointed now I was dying to take her into work and don't want to have problems already. Granted it was a cold morning and she might be tempermental but the guy I bought it said he had just put a new starting motor in a few weeks ago!

im not an expert by any means, is the engine turning, if not, Im thinking he may of had a clapped out battery on charge all day before you arrived. If the battery has juice take the leads off the spark plugs and check for a spark, try and get a spark to
to arc across the top of the plug. couldbe the artic conditions you travelled through dampened some dogey leads. Failing that PM chopper, he'll sort you out |

Is the motor actualy turning over or is the starter relay just clicking and not turning the motor, typicly the reg/ rec goes on them and that leaves the battery not charging. Charge up the battery and it will probably start , if it does check with a multimeter check if it's charging enough , you should be getting between 13 and a half - 14 and a half volts

sounds like your might had flooded her.
did it once on my superfour - never again. full choke, starter only - NO gas. try her again when you get home tonight. if that doesn't work, a hug and a blanket might make her change her mind for ya. |

Seriously though, sounds like a flat battery, or dodgy reg/rec. Most likely, battery's fookt from lying up. Start with the basics, replace the battery.

OK so I was talking to the guy I bought it off a few mins ago, apparently it is a new battery. She was turning over, but very weakly I definatly am now thinking it's the battery or altenator. I'd say he had it charged or something before I came, could I try jumping it off another bike or car(With the power off)?...
Other than that I guess I'll need to get a new altinator and battery possibly, would I be looking at much to get them installed?well the antinator i'll do the battery.. |

Let's do it again then ,
batterys flat even though it's supposedly new and bike had good spin yesterday so it should be charged. V iragos typicly burn out reg/ recs, so you need to charge the battery up , start the bike , and check the voltage . |
