My bike wont start - what to do?

[◄Chuck►]

Did you check the obvious things? Gas tap set to open? Emergency breaker closed? Set choke to start?

Does it take fuel? The exhaust should smell like unburned petrol. If you get the petrol smell then there has to be something with the ignition. You could change the spark plug, or at least take it out of the engine (but still collected), hold it with the fingers, outside the engine, and look if the spark actually occurs where it should be if you hit the starter button.
