I just bought a 2001 CBR929RR and it rode fine. Today I tried to start it and it turns over but will not start. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks

Is the bike getting fuel from the tank through to the engine?? i.e. is it able to be flooded. At least if you can flood it you will eliminate a fuel flow issue and you would be able to concentrate more on the spark side of things.

It could be as simple as a loose ground. I would really check out the tool at sears in this link.

SUPER EASY TO USE: just put the groove on the spark plug wire and you will see a flash if the plug has any fire.

I tested for spark and it has a strong spark.
