fuel tank ganna water inside?

[skateboy]

did water seep into ur tank somewhere? but when u push start button, got cranking sound? if yes, then check on the air n fuel...

n still got petrol? hehe...

i recalled a case i had b4... cannot start in the morning. can crank but cannot fire off. throttle abit but engine went dead... in the end, still manage to start but engine very weak... so i went to the motorshop ask mech to check... petrol got water content, causing the plugs to burn off therefore cannot fire properly. had the tank interior is washed, plugs changed, carbs serviced. lucky is not the piston ring. if not, its gonna b a major servicing.

my friend bike got somehow this problem.. he changed the sparkplug holder... not very sure wat is it about also..

[fraggershell]

its some electrical wiring prob, when its wet, some short circuit happen... it happened to my old bike.. it just suddenly died in the rain

check plugs cable.

check spark plugs, check spark plug caps and check that rubber piece that shields water from entering the cylinder head (got tear? is it dropped out and not even there)

Check the "Engine Cut-Out" toggle switch next to the throttle handlebar. It could be faulty and no more water-proof. It happened to me with my old "LC125" long ago.
