I have a honda cbr 600 f 1997 and it refuses to start, is it possible that a faulty alternator is stopping the bike from starting??I have tried everything else and just wander if this is a possibility?

have you tried putting petrol in it

Hi, you might have got some corrosion on the kill switch contacts.

I doubt whether a faulty alternator will prevent your bike from starting. Alternators only recharge your battery once the engine is running, so its unlikely to be this. Presummably the engine turns over but doesn't fire up?? If this is the case, it can only be either fuel or ignition. Blocked fuel line, blocked carb jets, knackered HT leads, knackered spark plugs - that sort of thing.Not much help, i know but with the limited info - the best I can offer.Good luck, hope she is running soon :-)

Could well be, check if good spark is present at spark plug gap, check and clean all leads from plug caps to coils make sure coil ends are not verdigris and are well secured, check earth from battery to frame, check fuel line for kinks especially under tank, check fuel tap for blockage,check fuses,check air filter - remove and wash, check all bulbs are working and dry!If none of these cure it I suggest having your electrics checked out at workshop as it may be a high voltage diode problem...Good luck mate.

I'm a salesman but I've ran into this a lot, dumb question but do you have the key on? I'm not insulting you it has just happened a lot, make sure the fuel is on, that you have fuel, battery is charged, all the small stuff one of those can cause issues!
