Hi guys ,

First off , long time lurker , first time register 8)

I'm wondering if someone can give me some pointers on how I can get my 02 XB9R back up and running. It was for in a running state then left for about 18 months sitting in the garage with fuel in the tank .

I'm now in a position where I want to get back on the road.

I replaced the battery and tried to start her , no joy there as the fuel pump had seized ( no duuuurp from the pump when switched on ). 1 month later and I have now fitted a new fuel pump , checked I got a duuurp and that fuel was coming out the pump. The bike doesn't seem to be firing after trying several times, does the fuel need bleeding ? I can't see anything about bleeding the fuel lines.

If I don't need to bleed the lines what would you guys suggest is the next course of action ? spark plugs? , injectors ?

Thanks for a great forum and I have gleaned a lot of information off of it and hopefully one day I will be able to give some advice.


Cheers all !
