Can anyone throw any light on why a friends YB125 a couple of years old will not start if left in direct sunlight for a few hours, its ok in the shade or if raining.

Fuel injected, not vampiric.

Possibly one of the sensors getting hot Steve. Gut feeling is cylinder head temp sensor giving incorrect reading & going into safety mode !! Needs to be plugged in really to read live data when playing up.

Spoke to me mate and he's since found its a common fault, others have tried chucking a bucket of water over head sensor. Next question is can sensor be circumnavigated or changed to a less sensitive higher value one.
