I need your help.
(2001 Suzuki GSX1300r bike and model)
So I decided to get my bike up and running after 5 years of it being in storage. Seems that I had a bit of fuel left in the bike because last time that I transfered it from country to country it was bone dry empty. I shook the bike a little and the tank did a tiny swish.
Ok so back to basics. I get fresh fuel (bout a gallon) put some FI cleaner in it and about a cup of rubbing alcohol to get any water out. Swish it together an put a quart of fuel in. New battery, fresh oil and filter, hit the ignition and it tries to turn over but nothing. The Fuel pump does the whirl sound like normal so I am assuming that it's getting fuel somewhere.
Can I assume that my sparkplugs are dead or maybe take the tank off and pull the fuel pump and start from there?
I am at a lost, my poor little bike has been ignored for the past five years. I know she's mad cause after I learned to walk again I never took her out. She also didnt like being in the garage with a bunch of stuff pile on her.
