Won't Start

the fuse box is behind the right side cover the choke is situated on the left hand side of the handle bars.you have the turn signal switch below that the horn and below that the choke lever.if you have no choke cable and suspect the choke is on look at the carbs from the left side, if the choke is on the choke rail should be poking out just below and in front of the the square top of the first carb push the rail in and the choke is off. cheers hope that helps

I appreciate everyone's help with my problem. I will check my fuses later this morning, as for now I am heading to bed.

Thanks again!

i d say check in your pdf manual, read a bit through it first anyway.
not just the owner one by the way, the service manual of course

look at Mr Bass Cliff 's website!
you ll find a lot of things on that awesome website

you should be able to find the location of your fuse box by yourself,
that would be a good exercise/start

pop your seat open!

do you have any electrical knowledge by the way?

No, let me check them...

I saw some in the rear by the back light. Are the others in this same location or towards the battery?

yeah...
you checked your fuses?

Exactly. I am trying to learn the basics of troubleshooting problems. Plugs,fuel, etc.

Like I said I have only added premium fuel with seafoam, and cleaned the air filter since I got it. Which was yesterday.

Then all of a sudden tonight, it will not start.

i agree with you, a manual is absolutely vital, that being said the manual won t help him troubleshoot the problem that much.

he needs the manual combined with help from people like you with a lot of experience to find the solution.

as long as he doesn't go crazy and start unbolt the whole engine out i do not see what could break the bike down to a ''never running ever again'' state, by doing a basic list of checkups i mean, fuel/spark/compression. yes?

i mean it s no mystical science, even if it tends to be scary when you first start learning all that

got to jump into it to learn,

Delhi.

I got a garage and a decent set of tools.

Anyone up for a complete rebuild

What part of Cincy are you in?

Uhm. Did you wring the filter you submerged in water out? Is it dry?

Before you do anything. At all. I highly suggest you find and download a shop manual for your bike.
Being that you're not all that mechanically inclined, and this is your first bike, I wouldn't suggest touching anything just haphazardly. It is very easy to screw something up without direction or guidance and the bike may never run again. Without a manual and a basic knowledge of mechanics, reading here alone isn't a good idea...

I would love for someone to come over and show me how all this carb stuff works, haha.

Yeah, I made sure it was dry before putting it back in.

I have a pdf of a shop manual I got from the web. I also have a physical copy on order from amazon.

I am not trying to mess with to much stuff, as I said it worked fine all day today and after I sprayed the chain it would not start...

True. My buddy knows some about carbs. He only has one on his dual sport.

I'm new to all this stuff, but it's interesting

I live in Cincinnati
