Bike won't start

Tried to start my bike after a couple months of bad weather and the bike wouldn't start. Any suggestions? Battery seems fine but just not firing.

Check your fuel line......not unusual to have a kink there. Second possibility is bad gas, but unlikely in a couple of months. If you have spark, rule out a kinked hose first.

Do you use Stabil in your gas? I use Avgas LL100 in my classic show cars to get away from the ethanol, but since I can't with the GT, I use stabil ethanol treatment.

check if the plug is firing....that was my problem when it wouldn't start. Turned out to be plug wire came loose inside the connector.

My bike would not start. Upon further inspection I found a wire harness under the tank had burned. Been in the shop for 2 weeks now.
