Hi all,
I went out to eat last night and when I tried to start my bike... It wouldn't. The light comes on, you can hear the starter clicking but that's it. Anyway I was closer to work then home so i pushed it back to work and there it sits. Would that be a spark plug issue?

Thanx in advance

put a volt meter across the battery, are you over 12v?

If yes, did you make sure you were not in gear? Kill switch to run?

How old is the battery? Cheap insurance to replace every 3 years, and if you do, don't cheap out and keep an eye out for the cca ratings on the battery you are considering.

Everyone was trying to sell me a 120 cca battery, I went for the Yusura w/ 215 cca's, bike really starts a lot better now.

Remember, volts is volts, but cca's spin the starter.
