    Ds WILL NOT START PLEASE HELP

    My bike today stopped working . I have no ideea whats wrong with it .
    Bassicly i started up as normal and i let it idle while i was closing the garage door , after about 1 minute it just died . I tried to start it again for ages and nothing . I had a look at the spark plugs and i saw there was some black stuff at the bottom of the plug , cleaned it and still didnt work ( both spark plugs )
    Checked the battery cable was connected properly that is where i run out of ideas .
    Last week i broke down in a river ( no petrol as the warning light dont work ) and i did tried to start the bike for half hour or so .
    Would that have damaged the spark plugs ?

    Sounds like you have fuel deliverly problem ,check fuel lines,petcock,maybe injector clogged.if it starts with spray starter fluid its running a second on that fluid then shutting down it sounds like fuel is not getting to injector or injectors clogged? just my thoughts GOOD LUCK!
