Was your bike wet? Could there be water in the airbox?
thanks for your help...i got the back started but only when i put on the throttle as i start it but it wont idle and dies unless i am on the gas.

I don't see any leaks of oil, coolant or anything else.

There is a gas smell and the exhaust sounds lound and very "poppy" sort of like a back fire. It hasn't rained around hear for a few days and i haven't noticed any strange electrical issues.
