I did the valve check (no adjustment needed). I put everything back together. Turn the key ON, and everything sounds and looks normal. Turn the key to crank, and starter motor turns. But won't fire up. Any idea?
Here at the Retirement Home, we sometimes inadvertently end up with the kill switch in the off position......especially after a grandson visit. Despite what MSF teaches, I always turn off the engine with the ignition key and not the kill switch, so I never expect it to be in the off position.......if that's not it, try checking the sidestand safety switch..........if you reattached everything correctly that you unattached, these are two of the leading usual suspects.......
Always ride safely and keep your airspeed under control.

During the first time I pulled the fuel hose, copious amount of gas came out of the fuel tank because I couldn't plug it fast enough. After the no-start condition, I pulled the fuel but this time very little fuel came out of the gas tank. It's like there's a blockage. I do hear the pump buzz. Is it possible the pump is too dry? I left it standing on its front end for a few days.
THere's no check-engine-light.
The fuel line to the tank is a quick disconnect connection. Very little fuel should drip out when disconnected. Only a few drops.
Success!!!
I probably should have the manual when doing this. LoL
