Has someone nicked your petrol?
Bung it on charge if you can.

[DottyDuck]

my petrol tank is full!! lol i think my bike is on strike!! erm.... how do i charge my bike? :O

[stoke-gaz]

Battery charger!

Is the fuel tap turned on?
Does the starter motor turn?
Does it have a spark?

What bike is it.?

[Islander]

Don't forget to check your kill switch as well,

[TomGT]

you don't know how to start it. Not a bad thing, I'm still learning how to start the CBR. If you are using the choke don't touch the throttle, starter and a bit of throttle to start it works for me, then throttle off and adjust the choke.

Jump starting will do you a favour, as you haven't got a flat battery to worry about

my bike is a zontes panther

yes fuel tap is on
does the starter motor turn? erm i think so.. it makes a noise like it wants to start but when i rev it .. like it doesn's start like normal... (if that makes sense)
i have sometimes started it with the kickstart but today it was having none of it!
and my bike doesn't have a kill switch either lol

p.s how do i recharge the battery?

[i.p.phrealy]

also it sounds like you've flooded it. if it hasn't started after 10 seconds, leave it 30 seconds before starting again. also check your side stand, the bike shouldn't start with that down.

+1 for it being flooded. Using full choke a lot, and revving it, will quickly flood the ending with fuel.
