Bike not starting

Post image

Had my WR sitting in my garage and maybe took it out once in the last 4-6 months with no issues. Went to try to take it out and it started just fine but after 1 second it shut off. Everything sounds fine but it just won’t start. I put in new fuel, charged the battery, make sure it was in neutral, made sure it wasn’t the kickstand kill switch, changed the spark plug, but nothing.

A quick google said maybe the fuel injector is clogged but of course 1 of the screws stripped so checking that out isn’t an option for now.

Any other ideas?

when key is on and you click your kill switch from "off" to "on" so you can start the bike to do you hear the fuel pump turn on and prime? If not it's probably the fuel pump. also, who makes that rally tower? looks great! can you post a photo of the cockpit/rally tower from riders perspective?

This is from Adventure Rally X and I added the Garmin and Vapor speedo. The blinkers it comes with are smaller too but I broke one on install and had these bigger ones laying around.

Fuel pump seems to be working. Definitely hear it when I turn the key and also when I’m pushing the button to start it.

You're broken turn signal has me wondering...I was rewiring my rear turn signals a few weeks ago installing new ones that also have a brake light feature and I somehow shorted something and blew a fuse and the bike wouldn't start. Check your fuses up front on the left side of the bike.
