i have a 2005 gs500f with 1600 miles on it stored in heated garauge at all times used fuel sabilizer in the winter only put about 30 miles on the bike in 2007 i went to start the bike it had started fine that morning and when i went to start it later that day it kicked over and spat and sputtered but wouldnt start now it will just turn like its not getting gas and or spark. i took the kank off to get to the carbs tryed some starting fluid still nouthing checked the plugs looked fine and getting spark so i have no idea why it wont start. if you could please give some more ideas that would be great thanks.
go to auto store and get JUMP STARTER. If you haven't ridden much this season the battery needs good charging. Connect jump starter to battery and it should start with NO problems. When it does start go for a ride and try to keep RPMs above 5K so the battery can charge.
Have fun and be safe.
PS if you don't feel like riding, instead of JUMP STARTER get the wall charger for auto or motorcycle batteries. Plug it in and let it charge for 12 hours or so. This should work fine.
or you could push start it. pick up a motorcycle battery tender and keep that on the battery when you've got it stored.
ive had it hooked to a booster pack the bike is turning over fine with that its just turns over i guess ill have to bring it to a dealer im sure its still under warrenty see what they think i have no clue but thanks for the sugestions ill try to push start it. it just seems to act like its not getting gas or spark but it is so i dont know. thanks for the help
Try turning the pet-chicken to PRI when trying to start it, just remember to turn it back to ON once it fires up again
try to fix the problem on your own. This way you can learn something and when the warranty is gone you will be able to fix the problems by yourself (you will not have to pay anything to the stealer). If you take it to the stealer all joy of fixing the bike is gone and knowledge you could gain is also gone...
if you have tried all of the ideas and none worked then take your bike to the shop and have them fix it.
just don't mess to much around to do not void the warranty.
good luck
