This Motorcycle Has Been Sitting For A While......Will It Run?

Trying to diagnose and repair a Kawasaki dual sport motorcycle that has been sitting for a few years. Engine turns over, but won't start.....
Bike is a 2000 Kawasaki Super Sherpa. 250cc engine, 6 speed transmission. I bought it from a neighbor, who got it from his father. It has been in storage, and shows some wear, but overall in decent shape. We try to fix it.

"I love you" "I always think your stuff is gonna work" "I could have a birds nest in my hand that's on fire and youd say 'yeah that'd work' " "I would" Aside from my sprouting mechanical passion this is the reason I love this channel, it's such a pure wholesome relationship that is so openly enjoyed so simple even on the days we can tell something is off you still always uplift each other. The bond between y'all is beautiful and some day I wish to be where you two are together

I was just going to post something like this. Currently going through a divorce. I'm a family man. I loved being married. I hope I find someone to be with me the way they are with each other. I love their relationship so much and this is the first video of theirs I've watched.

I love the fact that you go through the diagnostic process it makes it really easy to understand where to start and go to solve the problem, props

i feel like a lot of people dont consider how little vibration he felt while mounted. I'm sure that's what he meant but hey that's art; all up to interpretation right?

He said right at the same time that it's smooth, so no vibration.

Use ethanol free fuel/ clean gas or clear gas depending on how your gas stations nearby sell it. In Utah it's the blue handle at maverick gas station

So I got some water in my gas tank, thru my faulty gas cap. I was tempted to just call a tow and bring it my local shop, but instead... Googled a few videos about resolving the issue and sure enough I did it and now the bike runs better than ever, saved me a ton of money and learned a lot. It is videos like Jennies Garage that gives me the confidence to take on these projects. THANKS for the great content and enthusiasm and support for DIY!

Try some WD40 on the seat and let it soak, that's worked great for me removing old tape residue on computers and stuff

[@notajp]

I use Goof Off for removing adhesives... Dries without leaving any oily residue and has a pleasant citrus smell. You can even get it at the Dollar Tree for a buck...

[@jenniesgarage]

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried the wal-mart generic kind but it didn't work. Maybe I'll give the real stuff a go.

For a quick fix for broken parts use super glue & bi carb soda it drys instantly & very hard & fast & it's strong. It's not a long term solution but it should work to get you out of trouble. Love the channel stay safe.
