it was finally above 40 degrees yesterday and i thought id go ride. moved the busa out of the garage and it wouldnt hit a lick. plugs werent fouled but i replaced them just incase (ngk cr8eia-9 gapped at 1mm). i didnt give it any gas so flouded is out of the question but just to make sure i tried to fire it up this morning- still nothing. everything else seemed in order. anyone have any ideas? suzuki doesnt open back up til wednesday around here.

more details please, does it do the ignition cycle, fuel pump sound? does it turn at all when you hit the starter?, lights dim when you hit it and nothing?

fuel pump primes, no F.I. light, no dimming, and the starter turns the bike over as normal. it all sounds normal just doesnt start. im leaning towards bad coils or ecu not telling them to fire. the funny part is that i can take the plug out and ground it and it arcs across the electrode as it should but the bike acts like its not getting fire when they are installed though. i guess ill just wait to see what suzuki says about it.

My 08 has problems starting when its around or below 40 degrees. It just takes a couple of times to get it started. But i never had mine not start.
