Run/Stop Button in the Run position? Battery fully charged?

If your Battery is GOOD, check the simple things, like your Kill Switch on your Right controls, and make sure it's in the run position (it happens).

If everything is like it should be, in N, & kill is in run position, lights are bright, etc.
Move your clutch leaver in all the way to the bars, then let it out slowly, my Kat 11 does that sometimes, I have to clean the switch one day when I have time.

A Low battery will run the Injection, and the lights will look good, but it will Not turn the motor over.
After trying everything, get a trickle charger on it, and try again after 4 hrs on the trickle charger >> Be sure to check water level, if it's not a Sealed Type battery<<.

If you only have a Reg Battery Charger, keep the Amps to the minimum setting as not to boil your battery over.

post back with findings

Run / kill switch in in run position..
I moved the clutch lever back and forth a million time trying to start it while moving it had it in gear w/ clutch in and in N w/ the clutch in and out...

Lights look great horn sound fine dunno if i would call it a battery or not?

I dont have a charger.. umm what can i do to check it w/o a charger for the battery?

Most likely a weak battery then. Does it make any effort to engage the starter or is everything just dead silent?

Can you borrow/buy a charger? A weak battery will run lights and horn just fine.

Doesnt do anything at all when i hit the start button thats why i though something was wrong or out of place..

I would push start it but its cold and rainy out.. if i get another dry day thats not 20degree out im gonna have to get it out and start it so nothing freezes up..

If you are not going to park it and winterize(terrible thought) it, at least start it and warm it up a couple times a week if it is sitting. Mine throws a tantrum after two days of sitting around. She must feel neglected!

Do you have a meter? Check to see if you have a faulty safety switch or an open circuit in the starting wiring. Disconnect the battery first!!!!!!

Just an update i got it started 2 days ago..

The little screw in thingy that looks like it has a 8mm head on it on top of the clutch lever asembly was almost all the way out *almost feel out*

I have no idea what it is or what it does but any info on how it need set or whatever would be great since it kept my bike from starting
