    If you drained off the fuel then it may need to crank for a decent while to re prime the fuel system.

    How long have you cranked it for?

    Hi LInda, What Craig said really. It might take a while for the new fuel to pass through the injectors and get your bike running again. Have you managed to sort it yet?

    Hi, Linda Welcome,


    If your Triumph Thruxton EFI 900 isn't starting after winter storage, despite adding new fuel and a new battery, it could be due to fuel delivery or injection system issues. Check the fuel pump, fuel lines, and injectors for any problems. If you're unsure, it's best to consult a professional mechanic for assistance.

    Hi Linda, if I havent used my thruxton for a while it takes a long time for the fuel to get through. so persevere on that
    When you turn on the ignition, before you hit the start button, can you hear the pump whirring/priming?
    Also are you using the cold start knob? make sure you have that pulled out all the way.
    Silly things but known to happen to the best of us clutch switch, side stand switch might have stuck. Give them a bit of lube
    try starting with the side stand up.
    keep us updated good luck

    Well did you get sorted do let us all know. You do know there are some good hearted members around you that may be willing to stop while out riding and have a listen to your ailing machine but you need to put something in to the family. Joe
