Been ages since I posted here, now I need some expert advice
About 12 months ago I changed the airbox on my '90SP and did the wire mod to get some more hp...I took it out for a test and it stopped working (no lock up or anything), I pulled the clutch in and rolled to a stop, waited a few minutes and tried to start it but no go. I got someone to pick me and the bike up and then I just left it for a year.
I was planning to do a top end overhaul thinking it had seized but today I went out to get everything ready and thought I would just gently move the kick start with the bike off, the kick start moves and I can hear it has compression...there is no tightness at all, very smooth.
I've seized an Aprilia before and the back wheel locked at 90mph, it was totalled...does the kickstart moving on my NSR indicate its not seized, or a ring has popped or something?
I can get the bike picked up on Sunday and have a mechanic look at it but if anyone has experienced this before I could maybe save some time & money.
I plan to charge the battery on Sunday morning and try starting it.
