Hi all,

Is anybody aware of a mobile tuner/ bike mechanic in the West Yorkshire area?

I fired up my JZR for the first time today and things aren’t too rosy! She had a full service prior to storage and was in tip top condition; guess it was a tab optimistic to think all would be well!

It had a Honda CX500 motor which grumbled into life after a little bit of provocation, issues seem to be:

Firing on one cylinder
Clutch wont engage (I.E stuck in gear)
The odd loud bang/clunking noise whilst started motor spins, sounds as though its upon disengaging?

In the past id have taken it down to the local bike garage but with the clutch playing up I think it would be a step too far!


Unfortunately I don’t have enough spare time/skill to fix it at the moment so would appreciate any contact advice/ detail available!

Any mechanical advice would be much appreciated if there are novice things I may be overlooking.

Many thinks, Mitch

Disengaging starter would usually point to a lack of battery power, takes a lot of amps to throw a starter and spin it up

How long has it been stored for? I'm assuming you've checked your plugs and leads for any corrosion re: the firing matter?
