RE: bike wont start
Time for maintenance. The bike didn't feel like being temperamental this morning. Started right up with no problems. I think I am going to get the wrenches out and start tightening everything back down, go through the electrical connectors, etc, etc.
And I might change out the plugs while I am at it.

RE: bike wont start
i got a possible reason why your bike didn't start. I just wrote this message to someone else with the same problem. I'll copy and paste it onto here. This may offer you insight on what happened.
i don' know if you corrected your problem. But what i have found with Honda's sometimes is that you get carbon deposits in your combustion chamber. This carbon can get in between valve and valve seat, causing you to loose most of your compression in your cylinder...making the thing not start. It doesn't really make the unit stall, and then not start. For some reason it just happens out of no where. You ran it and parked it and left it over night. Then the next morning it won't start and you are there scratching your head!! But yes spark plugs could be the problem, but your bike uses Iridium Spark plugs which resist fouling compared to standard plugs which i see fouling on GSXR's. If you check spark and you got spark, and you check plugs and they appear to be ok....you may need to crank over unit with airbox lid off and try spraying brake cleaner down intake to try and soak and soften carbon, and maybe since this chemical is more flamable it will get unit started. if it starts give it gas and keep it running until up to operating temp. Also if this is what happens to you, i suggest going to your local marine dealership and getting a can of Mercury PowerTune. That stuff works great for removing carbon. You have to get unit up to temp, spray it in intake track while running until it is billowing out smoke. Stop unit and wait for alittle bit and start it up again to blow up all the carbon. But this is a suggestion or possible causes. Dealer won't find it right away, until they do a compression test and it looks like you have a dead cylinder and they are wondering why compression readings change from 0 to 50 to 150 to 0. Good luck man
