[QUOTE="RiderJoe, post: 1446204, member: 93203"] I agree completely. It goes without saying that one should know how to use the tools in his toolbox, and follow instructions and warnings on product labels. And of course, as you said, use common sense. My recommendation was to "remove the air filter, and spray a small amount of engine start into the airbox while attempting to start the engine". Not on spark plugs, etc. I must also add to use this attempt as a last resort after all normal, tried-and-true starting methods fail. By no means should it be used regularly as it isn't much more than a "hail Mary" before having to take the bike apart, or towing the bike to a service shop. However, it can either start the engine, or give you an idea as to where the general problem may be (fuel supply, or ignition issue). [/QUOTE]
