I try to start the bike kill switch is on. all i hear is tickin under seat. the last few days bike has had a lazy start. just got it tuned up completely even put new clutch

Make sure your kick stand isn't slightly down... a lot of makes have a sensor in the stand which kills the engine. Also go to neutral when you try to start...ps. Check your fluids just in case you popped something.. but it is usually the kickstand but I have had a battery arc under my seat because of bad wiring and kill my bike

hi had the exaclty same problem with my 600 and still having it next time it happens have the allen key to take of the rear seat i found with mine i had a loose connection to battery or a faulty link thought it was battery low for a while till i tried this i moved the live connection to the battery while i had the bike on ready to go ie kill switch on and key turned to on like that would go dead when i flicked the kill but when i moved the live connection it started if this is the case then have a screwdriver with you also to tighten the nuts to the battery this happened me a few times then the bike started perfectly was bloody odd and am glad i know how to fix it again but if it keeps going on then im gonna change the battery first then maybe the connectors also i think mine was linked in with an fi which to be honest is a whole other situation but please try the battery live feed connection hope this works for ya

No you are confusing the idle screw (a thumb-screw) with the air/mixture screws, these are turned inwards (clockwise) until they lightly seat & then back out the specified amount
You should have the bike tuned by a professional who should include synchronising the carbs, this will let the engine run more smoothly, idle at lower revs ,increase speed & all-round performance speed

Ride safe

Please mark this as very helpful (if it has been!!)

the only three things that will cut off a perfectly good running bike are as follows #1 kill switch #2 kickstand switch and #3 tilt/bank angle switch. since im almost positive you didnt hit the kill switch will let that one go and if you didnt hit a large speed bump or pot hole you probably didnt upset the position of the kickstand switch but check its security anyway, bolts have a way of vibrating loose like you dont know. So by logic the only thing left is the tilt switch, which i hear a lot of complaints from other rides especially stunters, they disable their switches because of all the tricks they do would constantly kill their bikes. Im not sure where it's located, it might be under your speedo, or under the seat near the rear shock. but i heard the way you reset it is buy taking key out and restart it. Did this help.i hope.

i had same problem turned out to be electrical issue check all your wiring connections under the seat and under your fuel tank and if there all fine try checking that your fuel pump motor is running mine wasnt because of damp on my wiring connectors. when you turn on the ignition the bike should click a few times and your fuel pump should come on look under your tank looks like this with 2 tubes running from your fuel tank http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/yamaha-fzs-600-fazer-00-fuel-pump_W0QQitemZ250559832283QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=&rvr_id=&cguid=6d2769071260a0e2048322d3fffcee00
this needs to be running or you will be riding the bike on gravity fed fuel and as soon as you open the bike up you will not get enough to the engine and will cut out hope this helps

could be kickstand switch or neutral switch. also check kill switch. starter relay should be under seat by main electrical harness with rest of bike relays.

The bike wont start for a little bit ????????????
What do you mean.Either it starts or it doesn't.
First of all check the fuel pump.Place the kill switch to "off" position and turn on the key.Put your left hand on the pump (it is under the seat and close to the fuel tank I think.Looks like a drum with 2 pipes on one side and wire on the other end) and then press the kill switch to "on" position.The pump should start pumping for a few sec and then it will stop.
What exactly is a "spudder" that you heard from the exhaust? Like an explosion with a flame (backfire)?
When you crank the engine does it feel like having combustion or it turns like there are no pistons inside?

i have a 2000 tl 1000r. my bike had the same problem. id turn the key on but wouldnt hear the fuel pump kick on. well i talked to a couple buddies of mine and he told me to check the tip over switch. when the bike is laid down or dumped, this part grounds out and keeps the bike from starting. under your seat theres a little black box, with a rubber mount around in. if you shake the box you can hear it rattle. this is the tip over switch. there are 4 screws on the back of it, take those out and pull the cover off. inside should be a u-looking brass peice, with wat looks like white plastic in the center of it. on the end there are two prongs, bend those prongs all the way to the middle so that little circle looking thing cant moove back and forth. hopefully this helps you.

There are two solutions to your problem. First remove and disassemble the switch housing. Clean and adjust the switch contacts. Reassemble and reinstall the switch housing. Second, tale it to a shop.

What is the name brand and model? On most riding mowers there are several switches that must be actuated before it will start. First, make sure that blades are disengaged. If there is a handle that engages and disengages them, you might try holding it in the dis-engage position in case the switch is out of adjustment. There is probably one under the seat also. This switch kills everything if you are not sitting in the seat for safety reasons. Also, make sure the parking brake is set, and the gear is in neutral, and not forward or reverse. Also, you should check the battery. It is possible that you left the key on by mistake and drained it.

Hope some of this helps.
