Default wont start anyone have ne ideas.

well i just got done changing the oil and the plugs. The bike started saturday night after i had trouble with the fuse and after i changed that fuse it ran.

now i cannot get it started for the life of me. I checked the plugs they are wet with fuel so i know it is getting gas. I pulled all four of them and cranked the bike over a couple times incase it was flooded put them back in and it wont start.

the only other thing i noticed was it seemed like there was some oil around the part where the washer is on the bottom. If anyone has any ideas please let me know i am confused as to why it would run saturday but not again on sunday.

get a multimeter(oms meter) and test your cdi and coil packs, you have either an ignition or electrical problem, shadow1 or timbuctwo might be able to set you up with an electrical diagram, they have both been a great help to me in the past

Check the fuse AGAIN, and if it's blown, check out your complete wiring loom for short-circuits.
Washer on the bottom of WHAT ? The plugs ? the sump ?

its the washer on the bottom of the plug by the little L piece (electrode i think it is called) and the fuse that blew before is still good.

the only other thing i wondered was that it flashes the oil light at the begining when trying to start it. is it just because the oil pressure is low?

Oil pressure light will flash until the engine fires, at which point it should go out. Don't see a problem there. Problem sounds electrical though - maybe the black ICM ? Hope not.....[X(]
I'm suspicious of the kill switch - they can often be a real villain !

If it is getting gas I would confirm spark by pulling a plug and resting it on the head while cranking the engine over. You should see spark.
Are the plug wires in the correct location? Looking down from the riders position the left coil wires go to #1 and #4. The right coil wires go to #2 and #3.

Before you go through the prosses of checking the wiring check first your kill switch and if you have on the nutral sencor as this will kill the power to the bike. Hope you get it sorted.

Yes! This sounds familiar. I recall a similar problem that also included the side stand sensor.
