Hi Fellas,
After someone stole my bike i got it back, and am now ready to start her up. However i have put in new fuel checked and cleaned the plugs but have not touched the carbs yet. I seem to remember someone else having similar problems. Any advice please. She has been stood for about 9 months.

have you checked to see if you're getting a spark at both plugs?

Perhaps first drain the carbs once and let some of your new petrol get there. Are the carbs not over flowing?

If it has been stood for so long I would even take the rocker cover off once and check to see that no valves are sticking. You do need compression ?
