ive never had it happen, but one thing that shits me off is when a shop slaps their sticker on your car/bike without checking with you if they can.

if it was a honda I would say check the regulator rectifyer.... since the ones on hondas tend to go belly up and then your bike wont start...

turned out to be a real tricky mother.
you need two things, spark and fuel.
now when we ripped out the plugs, they were wet, so i knew we were getting fuel. so cleaned them up, tested for spark, yep. wacked em back in and it still wouldn't run. quick call to rossi and he informs me sometimes u'll get spark when u test the plugs, but they'll fail under compression. so down to brighton kwak for some new plugs. shit they're closed. oh well we'll go in next door to brighton bikes and bits. top service. not only did they provide us with plugs, but also a quick run down on how to drain the barrell if new plugs didn't work.
but new plugs did the trick. i took it for a quick spin and it's runnin well.
ro-dogg send his thanks for the advice and help from everyone here.

hit the nail on the head with that one chikky.
and to make things worse. cos it's a v-twin, you gotta remove the top fairings and radiator to get at the front plug. far more effort than it should require

i know how that worked
the TL was amazing
had to remove everything and unbolt half the radiator and use it like door to get to the front plug
