Can't get any fire...
My bike was running 2 days ago and it seemed to be running fine. Now today it turns over like a champ but isn't getting any fire... any suggestions or tips that might get my baby up and running again?

Re: Can't get any fire...
I suggest you download the service manual and check the troubleshooting section, pages 7.1 through 7.7.
With the fire triangle in mind (ignition+fuel+oxygen), if it has no fire, it is most likely an electric or a fuel issue, air filters don't tend to clog overnight. Let's hope it is something really simple, like: um, oops, ran out of fuel... Oh and by the way: Welcome to the forum ! :rawk:

Does it give a spark? Is the spark gap right (your thumb nail which is about 0.6 mm should just barely fit) ?
