Pour WD40 into the cylinders and let it soak, the rings are most likely stuck. Then run the engine if possible.

The alternator/stator is faulty!

Have to check the voltage regulator for burned wires or yellowed connectors,, also looking over every wire on the bike you can get to would be a good idea,, something could just have rubbed thru the insulation on a wire resulting in a dead short,,, look carefully for the damaged wire,, It could easily be a voltage regulator We just replaced the reg on a SV650 and that was the trouble,

your regulator / rectifier is bad it is boiling the acid out of the battery from over charging it , i had the same thing happen on 2 bikes a kz , and a gs lol

anything is worth a try; go by your local wal-mart and pick up CLR. pour it in a container. heat it above luke warm,take carb loose from manifold.and submerge it for a couple of hours.you should be able to wiggle it out. PS if it dont repeat proccess.

I think your starter relay (under the seat, probably behind the side cover) has failed.

What type of oil did you put in the first place? Maybe you will need to throughly flash the engine of the oil that was wrongly put in. If you are in USA , get seafoam, use that one to flush the engine. It may help!

If you drained it out then do it again and this time add someting called lucas. its made for oil and it will help break down any clogs and junk in your oil tank. Just add that and the regular oil and it should clear up in about a week but remember to add the lucas first then the oil. Youcan buy it at Autozone

Probably just a weak battery. front light may come on, but thats not always enough to turn it over. does it make a faint clicking noise? if your battery is good, i would check you gas next. make sure it was not shut off some how. maybe bad gas. you kinda left that question a little light on details

IF YOU HAVE CHECKED THE OBVIOUSE FUEL STARVATION, SPARK PLUGS ETC, I THINK THE NEXT THING I WOULD CHECK WOULD BE THE VALVE CLEARENCE, IE TAPPETS
BIT OF A DIFFICULT JOB TO GET AT ON THESE LITTLE INTRUDERS BUT IT WOULD BE WORTH A CHECK, HAVE THEY BEEN OVERTIGHTENED PREVIOUSLY IN A SERVICE,

i have the same problem at the moment, a helpfull sole put deisel in my tank and after draining the tank and carb iv put petrol in and got it running through the engine but now its doing the same thing that u have described, it has been stood unused in the freezing english winter for about 2 weeks but that shouldnt afect it too badly, iv charged the battery and still this issue, i am asuming that it is the starter motor/relay. i am going to try replacing this and see if it works, if it sorts the problem then i will let u kno and we can sume that this will sort urs aswell. if not.. im taking a baseball bat to the whole bloody thing cuz its really starting to do my nut in. watch this space

Hi! It can be the choke wire itself but try this, Lubricate the choke lever for it may be corroded causing it to be stucked. Once cleaned theres a possibility that the lever can move again. Hope this helps and have a good one!

I would suggest you try ebay.com as you may get a bargain there.Make sure seller is reputable and ask them questions if needed.I assume you are looking for a starter for this bike.

Sounds like a shortage of oil in the engine.

have you checked the fuse at the starter solonoid there is one under the red plug usally a red plug with 4 wires going into it

What do you mean by "Midway"? How old is this motorbike? What exactly did you do to clean the carburettor? Is it a new spark plug and a new, clean air filter? Did you empty the fuel tank to remove the fuel tap to clean the filter on the inside of the tap? Is it doing anything else? Things like - is it hard to start, has heavier exhaust smoke or it has a rough and uneven idle.

Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.
