Traffic Buster
 

Hi,

I have recently bought an '07 XT660R. I do 46 miles a day on it commuting between Gloucester and Cheltenham. On some days, it cuts my journey time in half and of course it is just so much more fun.

My only problem so far is that it seems not to like the damp and will readily flood when it doesn't start under such circumstances. Can't find anything wrong with the ignition and I've emptied WD40 over the vulnerable bits.

Other than that, it's tally ho!

Best Wishes,
Steve

Good for you.

Welcome to the fold.

Welcome along.

Have you tried a new plug with correct gap?

Welcome mate.

Welcome on board mate and have fun!!!!!

Welcome to the pack mate.

My 09 r does exactly the same from time to time as i commute on it 12 months of the year, foggy weather is when it happens most.
Carry a tin of wd40 and if it doesnt start straight away dont keep trying and flood it but remove the plug lead and squirt wd inside the end and all over the lead and coil, refit plug lead and it should fire up. This works for me and now Ive sussed it it doesnt cause me any great inconvenience, if however you flood it it seems to be a right pain in the 4r5e and takes forever to start, the key is dont flood it.

Hope this helps, and happy riding.:002:
