Post by: anthonygs1000 on June 09, 2008, 09:26:18 PM
  I have two gs500s 89 and a 90 ive been riding the 90 until I get my license the 90 is all stock runs great.  last winter I restored the 89 with a jet kit a k&n lunch box and a R1 slip on
I started the bike and let it run in January ran great a 100%  now I tried to start it today and just as it started a great big back fire BOOM then nothing I pulled the plugs and one was firing great and one had weak spark they were a little wet I am going to get plugs after school is there anything else to look at or has this happen to anyone else thank for the help Anthony

drain your bloat fowls, and check your coils, coils wires.

weak spark will make everything suck.

is your battery fully charged ?

good ground ?

got gas in it ?
