Hey...ive got an 05 400ex that i got in may of 2006...so its basically brand new. I went to pull it into the garage the other night from being outside and it started a little hard...and i shifted in 1st and it kinda sputtered..and it did the same thing in 2nd and I didnt think anything of it, i just thought it was because it wasnt warmed up...but then i go to start it later that day and it wouldnt even start at all. The battery is fine but it just wont start...anyone had this problem or knows what it could possibly be?

Thanks, Landon

Check the spark plug, you may have fouled it. Also check the plug wire. Hope this helps!

If the plug is black / wet on the end it is probably fouled. Buy 2 new plugs-Keep one with you for next time. As far as the wire goes, make sure it is securely attached to the plug.

did you buy it new in May? if so, it's under warranty, take it to the dealer.
