Hello to all!

[fish10nana]

New to the world of biking. Bought a used GZ250, British racing green, w/16,000 miles on it; but it had to sit until I recouped from surgery enough to take the BRC. Now here I am with my BRC certificate and my bike won't start; just sat too long, I guess. And I'm afraid I'll wear out the battery trying to start it. Any suggestions?

Perfect.........and make sure there actually is gas IN the tank !! :whistle:

And, make sure the gas isn't old. Even if it's just a couple of months old, especially if it has any ethanol in it, it can be very hard to start.
