Welcome to CBRF Woody!

Don't worry about not ever having been on forums...we'll keep ya straight! ;-)

For more specific ans & help for you, what model CBR do you have?

 

Did you check the leads to the starter motor? When did your friend last use the bike and were there any problems he reported?

Cheers, SB

 

You might get more model specific answers if you post here :- CBR 1000F "Hurricane" - CBR Forum - Enthusiast forums for Honda CBR Owners

As for your problem, have you tried jump starting it with another battery/vehicle?

Also where do you live, there may be a member that can help just around the corner. If you have time fill in your details

 

Welcome man , also when jumping from another vehicle - make sure that other
vehicle is not running - but me I'm thinking bad ground, starter relay or dead cell
in battery also maybe kickstand switch.

 

Welcome to the forum !

I think the guys have pinpointed the problem. Good luck and post pics when you can.....
