Hi guys I've got a strange problem.I was riding when it just stopped.I did a road side check fuses ok used and round did all the active tests ok.had some roadside asisitace from a mate with a rev and go this is 1 o'clock in the morning he pushed about 5 km s to my home..anyway I took plugs out sparks ok..disconnected the fuel line and test in a jug ok..I've never had a lot of pressure but it's always worked .,I thought I might just check,everything inside perfect no dirt,1 small O ring in a line of 3 was no good,changed all the seals and replaced. Pump,,took out injectors to test in the jug,,I don't know how much there supposed to spray but they did spray some thing,,still won't start ,,no back fire either,,I tossed some fuel down the throttle assuming it would at least fire or pop and bang,,nothing,,engine swings round freely no noises like broken engine parts,,it almost sounds like a broken cam belt !!! Any pointers very welcome thanks

have you checked the wires around the ignition & headstock for breaks ?

:yt: ..and coils. Admittedly I was on an S1, but was getting a spark when testing the plugs, but it wasn't actually sparking when they were in the cylinder heads.

Thanks for replies,I had a harley guy listen to it he said New plugs.I'm miffed as I have a great spark with plug out he uses plugs from a honda cg 125 in his customer bikes with no problems ??I'll have a set in as soon as the shops open and let you know...it makes sense I put petrol down the throttle and nothing happens..take care and thanks

I'd be surprised if it stopped suddenly without misfire or warning because of plugs :?
