Gentlemen,
I am very new to owning my motorcycle (2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R) and I fear that I did not winterize the bike properly (or at all) this past winter. I put it in the garage where it sat relatively untouched for 3 to 4 months. Now it is getting warm and I'd like to ride the bike, however it will not start. The battery is fully charged (I got a trickle charger and charged it up) but it just doesn't seem to wanna get goin... it makes an effort, starts up and then fizzles out after about 2 or 3 seconds.
I realize now that I should have winterized the bike properly (and will next winter I can assure you) but I am left with a bike that won't start. What is the best way for me to rectify this? I spoke with a friend who mentioned cyphoning out the gas and putting in some sort of engine cleaner with just a bit of gas... but I wanted to check you guys (the forum).
I really will appreciate any help you guys can give me on this. Thank you for your time.
