will look the the fuses tomorrow to see if those are all still good. i dont think the turn signals are activated when i turn the key, but will check that also tomorrow. my question tonight tho is how the hell do you get the igniton coils off the tops og the spark plugs. in the owners manual it says to unplug to the ignition coil and then to remove the ignition coil. i tried a couple times to remove them, but had no luck. what is the easiest way to get those things off? also, in the manual, it says to remove the plugs with a wrench from the tool kit. i bought the bike used, and there was no tool kit that came with it. what would be the best way to remove the plugs after i remove the coils?

 

you should have the spark plug head. it's longer and it does lift the sparkplug when you turn the wrench...

if the starter is not cranking , you have a problem with the battery , the starter or the engine internals.
if it cranks and tries to, but not fires up, it's your spark plugs or fuel injectors.. the fuel deteriorates during long cold stays so it can clog the injectors afterwards. try to start with throttle fully open.
that's what i think.

 

wanted to thank everyone for thier help. got the bike started today. ended up being the spark plugs were fouled up and needed to be replaced. pain in the *** to get to all the plugs. ended up having to take off the fairings, gas tank, and air box to be able to get to all of the ignition coils and plugs. 1 and 4 came off without much problems, but 2 and 3 would not come off, the ignition coils kept hitting the air box and wouldnt come off. good tho, learned alot about how the bike is put together.

 

Congrats, those plugs can go bad if you don't winterize.
