There is a kill switch on the handlebar, also on the side stand. Check these and ensure you have a spark.Take out the spark plugs and put your finger on the hole to check you have compression. So far so good, then put a squirt of lighter fuel (Petrol) in both plug holes and replace the plugs and it must fire up. This indicates no petrol getting to the engine. My bike needed the tappets adjusting at 220 miles from new as there was no clearance at all on both cylinders. It needed doing again on the front cylinder at 500 miles. Be sure to do the tappets. Regards Rob.

does it turn over fast enough to blow your finger off one of the spark plug holes?i take it it is a twin cylinder engine?if it doesnt then the battery is either flat or the bike has low compression check both cylinders for compression.the valve clearances may have tightened up its common on chinese bikes as the metal is soft.

Hi Rob,
Sorry to hear that. Those chinese bikes are pretty unreliable and to be honest I would go japenese every time.
May be worth getting one in the near future
Have you tried popiing a little fuel down plug hole. Pop plug back in and then try and start it. Does it fire and then die or does in just turn over?
