My Dad's 400ex won't start. The battery hold charge, so we think the problem is the wiring or the stator. Anyone have a suggestion?

Have u recently washed it? Mine wouldnt start right after i washed it one time b/c i accidentally flashed the tail pipe with the pressure washer

what happens when you turn the key do the lights come on? does it turn over or sound like theres spark when it does turn over? try bump starting it. just giver a good push or have someone push u/get toed and put her in 2nd or 3rd and pop the clutch. try putting a new tank of gas through. how does the plug look is it oil fouled? try some troubleshooting and tell me what happens im curious as to what it is :cool:

Yes it will start when we push it. The plug looks fine. The lights only work when the battery is charged. The bike won't make power for them. Any ideas?
