[QUOTE="Bluestreek, post: 205394, member: 72"] This has happened to many FJR including mine. For some reason or another the motor just gets flooded. I got mine started by cranking the motor and slowly opening the throttle until I found a spot where it sounded like it wanted to start. I didn't crank for more than 8 seconds. I had to do this for four or five times. Charging the battery in between. When it finally started the motor ran bad for a few minutes. It cleared up and has run great ever since. It seems like it happens when the bike hasn't run in a while. If this doesn't work try changing spark plugs. Others have done this and the bike fired right up. [/QUOTE]
