just got a cbr f3 a few days ago. i was practicing and noticed i left the fuel **** on the side in he off position. i turned it back on and then kept practicing and after a few stall outs my bike had trouble starting. now it just clicks and will not start. after a few tries it just seems like the battery dies out. any suggestions on what it could be or what i could do in my garage?

thanks.

 

you may have run the carb fuel bowls dry. i would make sure that you have plenty of gas in the tank, remove the seat and hook jumper cables up to the batt. engage the choke, and hold the start button until it goes. (and by until it goes i mean hold it for 3-4 seconds at a time, giving a couple of seconds rest in between) once it goes, leave it running for a few minutes to ensure the carb bowls get filled back up before you go for a ride...

and in case you didnt know for the fuel petcock,
arrow down is on, to the left is off, and up is reserve..

 

also note if you are jumping the motorcycle batt with a car batt, do not start the car

 

You may flooded the carb...let bike sit it out, hook up a battey tender while you are at it...pretty sure it'll fire right up later on....

Harbor freight sells those Battery Tender for $11, amazon sells namebrand DelTran for $22....those are a good investment in the long run...

 

Thanks guys. I bought a battery charger from Walmart and left it charging overnight and this morning it was purring like a kitten. Thanks everyone for the help!
