SOMEBODY TAKE MY HEAD OUT MY A**!!
I JUST BOUGHT A 2006 1000RR. RAN GREAT YESTERDAY, WENT TO START IT TODAY AND IT KICKED OVER AND DIES RIGHT AWAY. TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT WONT START. FINALLY AFTER TIMEAND TIME AGAIN THE BATTERY FINALL DIED.
I CHARGED IT AND LET IT SIT FIGURING THAT THE ENGINE WAS FLOODED, BUT IT STILL WONT START. ANY IDEAS OUT THERE? I HOPE THE PLUGS AREN'T FOULED!!

 

Hello and welcome to the site

 

Do you have it in gear with the kick stand down?

 

NO IT WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH THE KICK STAND DOWN.

 

Hold throttle wide open and turn over...3 seconds...repeat..

 

Hello & Welcome!!

Like I said...talk to the dealer....it's not right...

 

make sure the kill switch isnt on ,,<<< its happened to me

 

I'm going to make a T-shirt based on the "$hit Happens" shirt. It will read "Killswitch Happens". We have all had that one happen. Post up what is wrong when you find out! Oh, and welcome.

 

yea that should fix the problem if the engine is flooded, yea everyone pretty much covered everything kickstand, killswitch
