I can't seem to get the ole' bike running. I ran down the check list in my book and I'm stumped.

It's not:
Seized Piston
Dead Battery
Corroded Battery terminals
Blown Fuse(s)
Clutch Starter Bearings

Maybe it's the starter relay? I have no idea and I WANT TO GO RIDING!

And for the record, it does have gas, oil, and the kill engine switch was in the right position. :laughing:

What does it do when you hit the starter button? Does it crank but not catch? Just click?

If it does crank but doesn't catch, go back to the basics: you need air, fuel, compression and spark. Start with some of the easiest things: are your plugs working? Pull one and verify you have spark. Air filter ok? carbs have fuel ok and aren't gummed up? Compression ok?
