[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1224869, member: 68872"] I am going to take a guess here: You said that it was running great, then you washed it and it wouldn't start after that. My guess is that when you washed the bike you got water into the ignition circuit which kept you from getting spark right away. When you tried to start the bike without any spark it caused the bike to seriously flood. Now that you have spark the engine is so badly flooded it won't run. If you can tow it to get it started then you should be fine afterwards. If you can't tow it then I would recommend shutting the gas off at the tank, removing the spark plug, open the throttle wide and kick that sucker a LOT to get all the gas out of the lower end. Without the plug it should kick over pretty easy. What I recommend for the future is if you want to wash your bike, warm it up first. Wash the bike, then immediatly start it and warm it up afterwards. A warm engine will dry itself (and the ignition) a lot faster and it will be easier to start and less likely to flood. Restarting it right away (or attempting to) will clearly show if the water has caused any issues. Rod [/QUOTE]
