sounds like it might be the starter
try to push start the bike and get back to us, if it works then it's the starter and if it doesn't then the problem needs further diagnosis. I'd also check the spark plugs. |

I agree. It's probably the spark plugs or starter. I'm leaning more towards spark plugs. Get the NGK Iridium and replace the plugs.

Oh god that sound is killing my soul
It doesn't sound like your piston is moving any air through you exhaust, you know that slight thumping sound before a bike cores up. Your starter motor seems to be spinning but it sounds like solenoid that fires the gear for engament is not firing or your gears are striped. Or maybe your audio is just crap. Try this Put your hand over the exhaust outlet and try starting the bike, you should feel puffs of air. If you don't your starter isn't turning your motor. |

Sounds like a similar problem to my jetski.
Definitely not the battery because gauges light up, and when you want to start it is "spinning" the starter. I don't know if all is the same with my jetski, but had a starter solenoid on my jetski and that went out. So power goes from battery, to starter solenoid, to starter, and that's "cranks" your engine. Just something you could check out if all the other possible problems don't seem to work. |

Sounds like somebody needs a starter clutch/chain. A 2nd/3rd gear push start will tell the tale.

i listened to the video. one of two things happened; either the bike is making literally no compression, maybe no spark plugs. but it seems too fast for that. more likely, the starter paw gear that slides forward and back had cracked or is stuck slid out and is not engaging the starter so the starter is just spinning and spinning. should be able to tell by push starting it like chris said

open oil fill cover and watch the clutch basket when you hit the starter, if it turns - no compression, if it does not - starter is fubar.

starter is not engaging at all. I have a similar problem but it is due to a bad battery, when I throw it on the charger it works fine. I would try that if it only starts after a full charge I would check the plugs next.
