2005 ZX 636 will not start

Assuming you have just left the bike for a while and not removed a battery lead so it is flat (not the alternator is shot), then bumb start the bike and take her for a 5 mile journey, without stopping too much. Do some low speed, 3rd gear pulls to 60mph. This will charge the battery.

If it is the original battery, and it doesn't recharge after this, check the condition of the alternator and get a new battery.

Hope this helps matey :)

try new fuel & plugs...

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

On your post "...does not fire..." initial checks would be for:

• consistent IGN + 12 on the red wire going to all the ignition coils even when cranking;
• pulsating voltage on the other wire of each ignition coil coming from the ECU when cranking.

Incidentally, if the bike has been sitting for 2 months, you may want to check quality of fuel and/or replace it. Further checks maybe required on the fuel delivery system. Try of a quick fix would be adding / spraying injector cleaner.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

did ypu change the plugs yourself

Take out the spark plug's plug and blow compressed air in it and in the spark plug.Make sure no water or moisture is left inside.If necessary renew the spark plug.

The frame mounting points are completely different. A zx 636 frame wraps around the motor where as a zx10r frame goes directly over the motor. That's how they keep the zx10r nimble enough to feel like a 600cc sport bike. But in this day and age if you have enough time and money you can accomplish anything. Honestly it's just easier to sell your 6 and buy a 1 liter.

Check the alternator brushes. My high reving YX600 used to go through a set every 5000 miles, and my bike would also just shut down.

What do you mean by nothing? Have you verified spark, fuel?

Hi there!

make sure your carburetors are clean. I guess you've done that already. I had this problem once and i drained the carburetor fuel reservoir and found out that it had water mixed in it. Pull on the chock and ram the throttle several times to get rid of any water stuck on the jets. Also, clean the plugs, and let the chamber dry for a while like 30 minutes... replace the spark plugs.

let me know if this helps
