    For some reason I can't get the bike started! I took it for the first ride of the season Tuesday and everything seemed fine except for the high idle. I beleive that the idle problem is due to the cable being too tight after I put the tank on. I pulled the spark plug wire off and hit the start button and I didn't see or feel a spark. Any ideas where to start looking?

    Have you checked:
    Off/run switch?
    Kickstand switch?
    Fuses?
    Battery strength?

    Might sound dumb and simple, but how are your battery post connections?, and ground to bike wire?

    I tried it again this afternoon and got a little putput! I put a battery charger on it and it started right up. I guess I'll be buying a new Battery. Thanks For All The Help!
