GN250 getting it going

[Bikernereid]

I have tried to get my bike started on two consecutive days and to no avail. I was wondering if anyone else has had simialr problems. I have tried using the choke, partially using it or not using it at all and the bike just ends up flooding or the battery gets fooked. Any advice and please none of 'you should have bought......' Admittedly she hasn't been ridden in about a month so this may have some part to play in her not starting.

the spark plug may be fouled...Have you pulled the plug?

Most likely battery has little or no charge. Tried jump starting it?

You may need to clean the spark plug if that does not work ...

Batteries that are 'old' will cease to function if the weather gets really cold...buy a new battery and see what happens.

yep it's all about cranking speed..(how fast the engine spins when starting)....and VD(voltage drop) if the battery is a little tired

As above. to find out hook up a jumper battery and see if she cranks into life. THEN YOU'LL KNOW

Check that the kill switch is in the correct possition also.
