Motorcycle doesn't start

[lonsomecrow]

My motorcycle isn't starting after i left it in the rain for a day. The battery is fully recharged and when I try to start it, it cranks up but engine doesn't start. Any suggestion before i get it towed to mechanic?

Thanks,
Girish

Do you hear the fuel pump pressurize when you turn on the key?
How much fuel is in the fuel tank?

Don't have enough i guess less than half tank?

Not sure if it's a problem with modern FI systems, but older bike (Triumph Trophy) had occasional issues with running after rain with low gas.

Shouldn't be fuel if there's some in the tank....mebbe water is shorting something.Get 'er real dried out & see.

Girish:

1. Leaf blower all exposed electrical connections.

2. Hair dryer same to ensure they are all bone dry

If it doesn' start...

3. Stop exposing your motorcycle to any sort or form of copious amounts of liquids as that invariably will produce a failed (shorted) component or some other type of electronic gremlin!
