But you haven't repacked the silencer yet.....tsk tsk tsk....

Try this since you won't listen to reason, just take the damn silencer off and try starting it.....but don't, it makes no difference to me....I don't care one way or the other.....you might want to wear earplugs

Sorry bud i forgot to say the bike came with a full new Dep system on it so shouldnt need repacking.

You still think its worth tryig to start it with the zorst off?

I run BR8ES in my 2001 xc300

Can anyone tell me if the rectifier (black square thing connected to the coil) needs to be earthed? The reson i ask is the holder has snapped off and it is just hanging down on its wires at the moment.
Also how comon are failures with the coil and rectifiers on these bikes?

Ok so a strange thing happened tonight. I removed the zorst and tried to start the bike. It would try to fire on like the first revolution but wouldnt go any further. So I put the zorst back on and it now starts first kick every time, and I mean I tried 5 times and it started first time every time????

Now Im not 100% convinced it was the removing the zorst that solved this issue but im open to being convinced :0) Im going to play with it some more before im convinced this issue has been resolved completely.

Im now in a better mood with this bike lol, and ready for a full strip down and clean before putting it back together ready for the winter.

Thanks for all the help guys, no doubt i'll be back with more questions before im finished.

I'll get a pic up once I have it fully back together.

Cheers
