If the battery is good and the motor is turning over... You need to drain the gas out of the carb. The small amount of gas in the float bowl will go bad fast when a bike sits.
With the 10% Ethanol added to fuel now, it goes bad even faster. This EPA stuff they are doing with or fuel and motors and what not sucks. I have heard good things about this product being used....

Has anyone else on here tried this stuff??

Gas is no good when sat for a while, causes sediment...Top up with a bit of fresh and you will be good to go.
