Ok, well before I bash out the dealership where I acquired this bike, let me begin with the problem I am facing - I do hope that I can get some help from those experienced. Although I am aware of the obvious advantages of simply taking the bike into the shop...
I just acquired a battery charging unit from a local shop, I have also filled up the tank with Chevron fuel (I think their Techron technology will pay off in the long run as it has with my current vehicles) just to give it a shot and turn the bike on. Well, my problem remains. Yes, I went with possibly the most common problem starting a motor vehicle - filling it with gas. Well, that didn't work, but before filling up there was substantial gasoline left within the tank.
The problem begin about a month after acquisition, and once our weather started getting cooler throughout the evening until dusk - it just wouldn't start up, not until after noon when it was warmer and the sun shone down upon the bike - no problem, it started just fine. Let me also mention that both attempts the choke was turned on.
Well, I recently went on vacation for a week and now the bike won't start at all, even with the choke once again, turned on. I am charging the battery as I post this concern, can anyone help in determining a possible problem?

this will let our fine members know if it is fuel injected/ carb. etc.
Possible fuel contamination, water/condensation. Drain the old fuel and fill with fresh.revxus wrote: Well, my problem remains.
