*URGENT* - Bike won't start!
It's a 2004 GSXR 1000, that's been sitting since September.
I high sided the bike, and spent the winter until now (while getting sick in between) to sort everything out.
I did start and ride the bike home afterwards, so the bike was running. A few weeks later I put fuel stabilizer in it, and rode it to the gas station to top it off, and then changed the oil for storage. So the bikes been started 2 to 3 times and ran fine, since the accident.
Now, today I went to start it up for the first time and it was a no go. It slowly tried to turn over a few times, slowing down until pretty much nothing.
Tried hooking it up to 3 other batteries and still the same deal. When the ignition was turned on, the fuel pump sounded very weak while loading.
No idea what the deal is here as it's not starting even with a boost and it had run just fine after the accident. Any ideas appreciated.
It's a real nuisance as I just finished replacing most of the bodywork, got the front forks straightened and fully serviced, steering bearing replaced, antifreeze and both front and rear brakes flushed, and re-hooked up my old alarm system again about a week ago.
