Fun and games, started to get ready for the trip and tried to start the super Ten, it almost caught and now will not start.

Hopefully I have just flooded the engine and it will start in the morning.

All part of the excitement of a trip?

Problem on going, did not start in the morning so I changed the spark plugs and still did not start, just cranks over with the occasional hiccup.
Must switch to iridium plugs, you have to take the air box off to get to the spark plugs.

Photo attached.
Will have to use one of the other bikes, XT660z or my CBF1000.

Think that I will go for the CBF1000, better suited for high speed road use, auto bahn's, etc.
