    At the time of the brake down I let the bike cool down for about 3 minutes then tried, still nothing.Like I said I don't have the bike at the moment,at first I thought the chain may have slipped off but...I don't know, chain was on, tight.

    When a bike is flooded it'll take longer than that to clear. To speed it up crank it over or use the kick-start without the electrics on.

    if the starter is working fine then its likely to either be a fuelling issue or a spark issue. Test spark by taking the plug out and seeing if it arch's to the frame.

    Riddle me this, I had a very loose hand grip, the grip the kill switch is on, when I changed gear and pinned the thorttal back is it possible I may have caused the kill switch to come on and stay on?

    Bikes back, had a fuel test killswitch etc, petrol is not entering the chamber, blocked fuel lines, and there's a spark, (ouch) god do I know there is a spark.

    Funny enough, it's not,it will be sorted tomorrow, manged to get the tank off to look at the valves, there fine, the problem is the engine isn't getting any fuel, carb needs a clean, parents won't let me touch the carb..
