Hello I am a new rider and i just bought a 97 f3 yesterday. When the guy loaded it up in the truck he started it and it started right up. Now i can not seem to get it to start. battery is good the gas is on. Tryed it with the choke on and off... I belive i flooded it now but any one have any ideas?
thanks.

 

Big red button on the handlebars.

Is it in neutral? If not and the kickstand is down, that could be another problem.

 

Yes it is on run and it is in neutral does the kick stand have to be up for it to run?

 

Only if it's in gear.

Most allbikes are wired to kill the engine if the kickstand is down and in gear regardless of whether or not the clutch lever is pulled in.

Is the starter cranking the motor?

 

yes the starter turns but it jsut wont fire i belive i flooded it do i need to take the spark plugs out or will they dry themsleves?

 

make sure your fuel valve is on and you have enough fuel , also check your fuses

 

if you take the spark plugs out and they are wet then it is flooded......if it is, then with all four spark plugs out, crank the engine over for a little bit(not too much as to kill your battery) then put a spark plug back in and see if its still wet...if it is do the same thing again...eventually cranking it over like that will dry the excess moisture out of the spark plugs
