New to Buells but not to motorcycles... I have a 2006 Uly that ran in March 08 but sat all summer without cranking. Battery was weak and just clicked the starter relay. It was had also had a jump start which did not turn the motor over either. New Battery now cranks the engine but does not fire off. Is there any way of checking the ECU to prove that it might be the problem? I figure the gas is 1+ year old and it may have been just water in the tank(frame). I plan on draining old fuel and then checking for spark. Any other suggestions |

If the gas is over a year old, it's long bad. All the cranking may have also fouled the spark plugs, especially if you were twisting the throttle while trying to get it started. |

Oh, and an oil change would be a good idea too for a bike that's been sitting that long without running. |
