layed the bike down.... wont start
#11
yes the headlights are hooked up! i wish it was that simple. how would i be able to tell if the stator was damaged. There appeared to be no physical damage to it when i removed it from the cover. and we briefly pressed the start button with the cover off just to make sure all the gears where turning with out resistance and they where. could the spark plugs have gotten flooded or something? Im sorry for my ignorance, I've spent most of my time under a hood, and im still new to the mechanics of a bike.
Tell us something: With the bike off, make sure the ignition switch (the red one) is in the off position. Turn the key on, wait a couple seconds, then flip the ignition switch. Do you hear the fuel pump prime? If you don't, then that's something to investigate. Could be a blown fuse, or a wiring issue.
If the fuel pump primes and the bike just tries and tries to crank without getting anywhere, then (in my limited mechanical knowledge) I think it could be plugged injectors, or flooded spark plugs. Again, I THINK. I suck at mechanical stuff.

When I laid my bike down the tip over sensor killed the motor. Once it was back upright it would crack over but not start. Once I shut off the key, and also turned the kill switch off and back on it started back up. So I know even when the tip over sensor is tripped it will still crank just not fire.
