Default Help bike wont start.

Hey guys im new on here so hope im posting in the right place?
I have got a `99 cbr 600 fx. The thing has never missed a beat in over a year of using it every day. Now it just wont start, turns over fast and i can smell fuel out the can. Ive tried sevrel new batteries to rule that out, all the fuses under the seat are in tact. Im just lost on this one and dont have the funds to send it to the shop to be fixed.. Any help much appricated. Cheers Ant.

Try your regulator/rectifier.

I think skoob is right on this one.

It sure sounds like your not getting spark. When buying new plugs, make sure you get a good quality plug. Stay away from Champions. NGK's would be best, but others like Denso and Brisk are decent plugs too.
