It is a 01 yzf426.

So far i have tried pulling it off with a ATV in 3rd gear, kicking it a million times and rolling it down the hill.

I checked the spark plugs, it doesnt show a spark but when you hold it it will shock you.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Start with the basics.

- Verify the carb pilot jet is clean and the air bleeds in the carb aren't plugged up.
- Check the valve clearances.
- Check the coil wire, spark plug cap, and coil ground.
- Put in FRESH gas and a NEW plug.

I am just getting back into dirt bikes. The last bike i owned was a 88 honda, needless to say i dont really know all about what you are saying rich.

The only thing i have done so far is put in frsh gas.

I believe i will take it to the shop and let them work on it and also pick up a owners manual.

Thanks for the help.

*EDIT- I did a search and read a thread were a guy was planning on buying one, another fellow posted that there was a certain sequence to start the bike, and he diddnt list that sequence, so if anyone knows it will you enlighten me please.
