yup, yup more bike history please. We all know that when the valves get too tight, the dang engines are hard starting and do not run worth a darn.

 

yes in the last couple of weeks when i started it up ( just to warm it up while i wasnt using it) it has back fire a few times.could the cam wine be the slight scraping sound tha i can hear?
it has a light scraping like sound as it turns over. it has 60thou kms.
i uncoupled the fuel pump hose, then turn the motor over ander it seem very week didnt really pulse out very well at all. so gona take to a sparky to test tomorrow.
the pump had a mitsibishi symbol on the plastic cover over the wire end, is this the correct one for my bike.
i tested the leads wth a lead tester tonight and they seem very week.
i might take both coils out aswell to test them also what voltage are they meant to be at?

 

hi mate can you tell me what symptoms come from a sick sdi unit?
and what sort of cost are they? do they them new still?
or just go for a second hand one

 

Guessing you're speaking of the brain box on the rear fender? If faulty, it will make your life miserable. 2nd hand electronic stuff is always a crap-shoot, but I'd probably try that first (from a cost perspective.) A new one would likely be ridiculously expensive. And, stay with the factory unit; aftermarket "programmable" ones can give you problems. I'm guessing a used one would run $50-100.

 

50-100 is that USdollars?
can you buy brand new from kawasaki?
