February 28, 20206 yr Put a spare plug and spanner in your back pack, could be as simple as the plug breaking down when it's up to working temperature.... Hopefully
March 8, 20206 yr Author Ok .... update, I tried starting the bike few days after the last trial and it started straight up, I’ve been to a trial today and all seemed well but after an hour it cut out, struggled to start it, did a few more sections, turning the bike off at some sections whilst waiting in the queue, It was starting back up ok then it cut out on me again in a section, then couldn’t get it going, waited 5 minutes, then it fired up, did a load more sections then after stopping breifly in a queue it would not start, after trying 20 times to kick it up and doing 6 resets I waited another 5 minutes and tried again, it fired up, it’s as if the issue is when it’s hot , the fan comes on as it should, ... I carried on riding and this time it cut out on me whilst in 4th gear riding at reasonable pace between sections , waitied 5 minutes and began the 20 kicks to fire it up, it started so I carried on, i by this point was on my last lap, I made it to the last but 4th section of my trial when it cut on again in the section, I waited 10 minutes and tried again to kick it up, it wouldn’t start, I pushed bast**d up the hill and back to the van, another 15 minutes later I tried to kick it up again to no avail, gave up and went home ... ??♂️ other info, this bike isn’t even a year old the bank sensor was removed new spark plug just fitted the other day, Edited March 8, 20206 yr by 54tphill

That is not 100% for sure but well worth making sure before calling it a more complex problem. Edited March 8, 20206 yr by jonnyc21

March 9, 20206 yr Tickover, you start with no throttle. just a thought where did the spark plug come from?

March 10, 20206 yr Author Right me and me mate are looking at the bike, turns out it is not sparking ...

March 10, 20206 yr I currently have a similar issue with my GasGas TXT. Yesterday I found the reason: The woodruff key sheared off and the flywheel turned on the crank shaft... Canario

March 10, 20206 yr Does your bike still have the ''bank angle sensor'' plugged into the system? Some have had issues with them and remove.
