98 cbr f3 turns over but rarely starts
Hi,
I am having some trouble with my f3. last winter i didnt stabilize the fuel and it wouldn't start so i drained it and put new fuel and carb cleaner through it. it would start after that but needed to be warmed up to run well. a few weeks ago i was driving it and it just died. It sounded weak when I turned it over so i boosted it and it ran for a while but it would periodically die. Now I cant even get it started with a boost. I checked the battery and its good. the stator is supposedly only a year old according to the guy i bought the bike from last fall. he said he also replaced the wires and plugs. Any help on figuring out if it is and electrical problem or a fuel problem?

Welcome to the forum, man.
It could be several things from the reg/rec, battery, wiring... to fuel delivery.
I would download the manual if you haven't already.
Then I'd do the electrical tests in the manual for the r/r. You'll need a good charge on the battery, tho.
HERE is a link to the manual if you don't have it.
