Bike won't start
Went out to start up the bike because it's goin to be a nice day, and it would'nt start. Sounded like the battery was givin it plenty of juice but it acted like it was'nt gettin any gas. So, right now I have the battery tender hooked up. What do you guys think it could be?
O yea, the kill switch is in the run position also. It's not goin to fool me this time. HA

Yes, sokan the pump does prime. That was the problem, too much fuel. It was just simply flooded, but I got her started after a lil convincing.

I figured out how exactly it got flooded yeasterday.
My bike stays in the garage slot I have at work most of the time (Since I live in an apartment, and there's no way in hell my bike is stayin outside all winter, and those dirty thiefs are alway lurkin somehwere). So, when customers come out to the garage they always HAVE to see what's under the cover that's tucked in it's own lil corner. So, everybody always wants to sit on it and they always want me to turn it on for em'. Well, I think from turnin it on and not runnin it, the gas must have collected and flooded it. But all's well now. It was 65 yesterday and sunny so I went and disturbed the streets yesterday on my lunchbreak.

Beautiful day. Did about a 100 mile run this afternoon.
I keep the Battery Tender on between all rides, have found that the fuel injection bikes don't like to start without plenty of juice.
