normaly the manual will give u the easiest way without struggling...

 

^Agreed.

Removing two fairings and moving the Radiator is a lot easier than removing the tank and airbox.

 

Yes no need to remove the tank....

 

Great, thanks guys. Its been snowing up here so the weather is pretty crappy. Once it warms up a bit I'll get to it.

I'll keep you guys posted.

 

Hey guys,

So i got around to putting in new spark plugs. Little bit of a pain but they're in. I jumped the battery and put it back in. Tried starting the bike and get the same results. It cranks but won't turn over. It'll do it til the battery dies. I'm a little frustrated right now. Does anyone have any suggestions for me. Everything works, all the lights etc etc etc and it cranks but it won't start.

Please help!

 

stick to basics i guess, have you tested the spark the plugs are getting? May need to air out the engine to get the fuel out from constantly trying to start it: remove the plugs and let it air out. Think you said you were sure there was fuel getting to the engine. Exhaust and intake are clear, clean and free of debris or dents. Timing would be difficult to get that far off. Fresh fuel in tank and pump working well with no clogs. wouldnt be a tip over sensor? Got oil in it? Battery actually have a good, full charge and is newer might not be as good as you would think if it is older and getting that much use but starting and moving a very short distance and low rpm. Fuel injectors clogged, not likely but eh(just throwing out all I can think of at the moment to check)

 

So after charging the battery up several times and killing it trying to start the bike I decided to take the bike to the car and start it by jumping it without the battery. After cranking it for a little bit she started right up. Then I fully charged the battery and she starts everytime now.

Took her out the past two days since it been awesome out and it was amazing!!!!

 

sweet, bet it was real nice being able to ride again!
