My bike stalled and won't start
So I changed the oil tonight and then took it out for a little spin (just around the block) to make sure everything was good. As I came back I up the driveway I realized that my fuel petc*ck was in the off position and the bike stalled. I moved the valve to the on position (yes I have fuel in the tank) but the bike wouldn't start. I think I may have flooded it in trying to restart it but after several tries I still have been unable to start it. Any clues?

Thx,
Ron

I going to have to agree with Slim, make sure youre flowing fuel. Those petcocks can get clogged up, if it is flowing fuel then try draining your float bowls and try again.
