S.O.S. My bike won't start

It's 98 superhawk 996cc. the battery is good. I checked the fuses.
Over the last Month it was rough to start in the mornings, but once it started it start anytime through out the day. Now I can't start it at all. When I try to start it makes a little nosie like it wants to start but then it dies and starts making a wineing sound. WTF do i do.

Alternator? RR? Fuel lines? Bad gas?

What makes you think the battery is good. You've described the classic symptoms of a bad battery.

The charging diagnostic is in the manual. It's pretty simple. Download one and follow it.

Fouled plugs ? Take a look at your spark plugs.

I find that if I kick the **** out of it a few times first thing in the morning, well it doesn't make it run any better, but I get out a lot of frustrations that way....Hey I was talkin about the ole lady, not the Hawk...are you kidding me....you wouldn't kick your girl friend would you?

Sorry I don't have a clue what is wrong with your bike, I only have sarcastic comments to add...but hopefully they brought a grin....lol

make sure the vaccum line from the rear cyl is attached to the back of the petcock, if it isnt you wont get any fuel out of the gas tank.
