You posted the engine won't turn over and you posted that it just turns over and over without starting. Your posting that you changed out parts but not why you thought you needed to change them out. It is a four stroke engine--it needs ignition, timing, fuel, compression and exhaust. Check voltage to the coil. Do you have 12 volts going into the coil? Do you have fire to the spark plug? If not find and fix the problem before changing parts out. If you have fire to the spark plug------next do you have gas getting into the cylinders? If you do ---then that leaves timing, compression, and exhaust. Got a repair manual specific for you bike? If not spend some money on that before anymore parts change outs.

Yeah, I'm confused on whether it's cranking and not starting, or not cranking at all. Can you clarify that?
I'm also unclear as to why you're changing out parts.

The first post sez the engine turns over, then post #9 sez "it just won't turn over". Did you pull the plugs and spin the engine to see if the plugs are sparking? Did the bike start okay on the last ride? If the bike isn't starting or turning over then check the security fuse.

There's no way it could be the franken plugs dumbass. He says it's not turning over and it cranks but won't start. Does that sound like the freakin' franken plugs to you?
