i jumped on a ninja yesterday, didn't like it. too cramped for my height, and the shift lever isn't long enough. spent most of the day on the back of an 08 gixxer 1000, i've never been on a vehicle with so much bloody response!

Does anyone know what i can do to get my bike started?

HEres what it does. I put the key in, turn ignition on, turn choke on fully, turn on fuel, turn off kill switch, then i crank it. It turns over for a bit (7 seconds ish), then stops turning over and the alternator (i think just spins). Im thinking carb might be flooded or I may not getting a spark. Should I try to bump start it?>

yeah, that bike is scary, it hauls some serious arse in any gear....

steve, try clutching it. maybe leave the choke off and dry out the carby by cranking it. check your plugs too, might be fouled, being a 2 stroke... thats all i can think of for now, i'm not very good with 2 strokes sorry :(

Stupid necksnapping powerband! I saw the new RS125's earlier in the week, they look pretty sweet, but way too small in size for me :(
