not the kill switch...everything works electric wise...

...for some reason i dont think its getting any gas...is it possible that the fuell line might have froze...maybe from condensation build up from being outside...or is that not possible?

Possible, but it wasn't *that* cold in Ohio yesterday, I was riding a KLR through puddles with only a *little* ice on them around Hocking Hills...

Supposed to be warming up on Monday, you can park it in the sun then and see if it is happier.

ended up just taking it to aces and eights in mason...fouled plug+only been firing one cylinder+10,000mile service...hopefully a brand new bike when all said and done.
