Answer 2

Sounds to me like you need to clean you carb......it's not getting fuel.

Answer 3

I have a stupid question in response to your question. Have you set the choke? I have forgotten a few times. Also, you need to know your bike. I have one that you set the choke, twist the throttle twice, push the start button and it will start easily. If I twist the throttle three times or once, it will grind and grind. In the afternoon in the hot sun, don't twist the throttle at all or it won't start. When you get it going, think what you did and repeat.

Answer 4

If you bike has set a while(months) then it is probably the carb gummed up. There are commerical products "Gumout" that work for me when I have this problem.

Answer 5

need more details....is it getting gas ?spark ?

to test for spark,remove spark plug,place it back into the rubber boot,place the threads against the motor,turn bike over,look for a spark at the business end

Answer 6

pull out the spark plug and see if there is any sign of fuel onto the plug, if not NO fuel in the cylinder.  To check the spark, pull the rubber boot off and place it next to the engine and crank the engine and you'll see spark arching from the inside of the boot, if not  BAD CDI...
