Also check the supply that is coming to the CDI through the black wire that goes all round the fuel cut out relay and the coils and the kill switch. I believ that that circuit shoudl not be interrupred

It must be something obvious! I had a friend of mine who crashed his Fireblade (he is ok!!) to the extenet that the frame was a total write off. However the CDI and engine were ok so that should give you an idea of the robustness.

Let us know teh outcome. Mine is also an 893cc and it seems that its normal to go through a hassle when starting

She lives again!!!

Managed to get it fired up last night after connecting the black\white wire to the 12v supply as per the wiring diagram in the post above.

What a pain in the **s the plugs were though!! in the end I had to take each plug out and clean it by burning off any excess fuel with a blowtorch and also re-checking the gaps on all of them.

By the time I had done this the battery was struggling a bit so I charged it for a couple of hours and this was enough to fire it up.

Didn't get much chance to check things as it was getting late and the neighbours wouldn't be too happy but the digidash sensor for oil pressure wasn't reading correctly and also not sure the tacho feed from the CDI was getting to the Digidash so will have to check further.

Still looking at whether to put the clutch diode back into the system but will test that another time, as far as I can see it shouldn't need to be in the circuit but other people have mentioned that if it's not in the curcuit then the car stalls when you select a gear, we'll have to see.

Once again thanks to everyone who helped with advice and suggestions, 28 posts on this thread just shows what a helpful forum this is and something that is key to building your own car.

thanks again,
Rich.
