A wise man once taught me to always begin with the simple stuff. Frequently, it is the root of the problem. No fuel, blown fuse, unpluggerd connector, no bulb...

Have you checked the fuel level yet?

I looked into it on a few different sites but from what I read about the symptoms I didn't think it was necessary. I could be wrong though.

I couldn't agree more. I don't always follow that though, to my own demise.

Just thought I'd throw out an update.

After about a minute and a half of warm up (two clicks out on enrichener to start, throttle, one click out and ride for a minute then not enrichener) the bike runs like a champ. I've been running Lucas oil and some seafoam through every other tank to add fidelity and extra cleaning for a while. I still think I need to re-jet it, but the blip test when warmed up goes smoothly.

Thanks for all the previous, and I'm sure future, help you guys gave me.
