2007 883 won't start
Took a short ride to my buds house, (two blocks). put the bike in the garage, we left for a few hours, got back, took out the bike, start the bike, it ran for maybe 3 sec. then died. I try to restart it, all it did was turn over. Nothing. We were both stumped. I went back a day latter and pulled the plugs to see what was wrong. They were real wet with fuel. First, I spun the motor without the plugs to get rid of the extra fuel, put the plugs back in. Started it again, it only ran on one cylinder. Now what? Take back out the plugs and switch them front to back. start it again. same thing. Only one cyl. runs. So we take out the plugs again, clean them up real good. In the mean time I start to play with all the clips on the bike, just wiggle them to make sure they have contact. We put the plugs back, and start the bike. Boom! it lights right up! Now, this bike never saw rain, but it was in a cold garage over winter. Could that have anything to do with this? I did start it a few times a week. I let it run until the idle dropped to bake out the water out with the heat of the block. I just don't want to get stuck on the side of the road because of somthing stupid like this. If I missed somthing let me know.............. HOLLYWOOD

The bike ran fine to my bud's, (two blocks) pulled it out of his garage, then it died! As I said all we did was clean the plugs and put them back in. I fu#ked with all clips I could reach, just gave them all a wiggle never took them apart. Could it be just condensation over the cold months? HOLLYWOOD
