2010 model.

The whole motor was apart, along with the carbs, and electrical.

The issue is that the bike doesn't catch, ie.. It will crank and crank, but won't run.

1) The starter motor is functional, I can hear it.

2) The battery is full, otherwise the starter motor wouldn't run.

3) There is proper spark in both plugs.

4) I can feel air coming out of the exhaust, tho I still have to do a proper compression test. But, fresh piston rings and gaskets were installed. The valves were also adjusted.

5) The fuel is reaching the float bowls.

I posted this on another forum and was pointed to maybe a fuel delivery problem. I'm going to test this by spraying some starter fluid in the air box.

Other causes could be clogged jets... they were sitting out in a plastic bag for a while before I put them on the bike. But, chances of both jets being clogged at the same time are low.

I also could have gotten the carb hoses mixed up.

Any other ideas are welcome.
