Im going to grab a voltmeter from work tomorrow and throw the battery on the tender tomorrow as well. I just got done fighting with verizon about a extra $80 that was on my bill, so I didnt mess with it at all tonight. This way friday Ill have my voltmeter to test the battery and the battery should be fully charged (unless its the cause of this). I thought about the kickstand switch and will check that as well.

The starter was cranking, but the engine wont turn over.

I also did find that there is a fuel filter and where it is (thanks to the haynes manual) so thats one of the first things Ill be checking after the battery and kickstand switch.

On a good note I did get the tow charge dropped to $75 and got my verizon mistake dropped from $80 to $5.

This is why I hate diagnosing bike problems on the internet.

I'm betting weak battery, its that time of year. Jump it off a NON running car battery. I bet it starts right up.

Have you cleaned or replaced any parts resently like say cleaned and over oiled the K&N air filter.

Batteries are always a source of problems.

if you jump start it... ALWAYS ALWAYS do it off a NON-running car!!!!

OK. I'll make sure he checks in.

But this is what he said in the initial post;
"The starter seems to work but the engine wont turn over."
If the engine won't turn over, that's not a fuel related issue, obviously.
From what I've read, askmrjesus has given you the best instruction so far, and I have to say I approve 100% of all the swear words he used in his post too :rockwoot:

Not enough juice to engage the gear?

Perhaps. I'm pretty sure mine was/is a battery issue...and he's describing the same symptoms.
