Check the spark plug to see if is sparking. Hold the metal threads against the metal cylinder and have a friend kick the engine over. If no spark, use an ohmmeter to check the kill switch on the bars and also the side-stand kill switch if your bike has one. Check the wires for a loose connection or disconnected wire.

There
is a proper way to start the engine. Four controls are on your bike to assist
in starting. Below are generic instructions.
- The choke, used
when the engine is cold. Pull the red knob for choke.
- The " Hot
Start " Lever, used when the engine is hot. Pull the lever to lean
the fuel mix when the engine has been running.
- The de-compression
lever, always used.
- the throttle, used
to prime the cylinder, (power valve).
Don't
kick, instead, push
the kick lever downward. You will feel the back pressure as the piston is going
upward on the compression stroke to the point the pressure is great enough that
the kick lever "locks up". You are very close to TDC. NOW, pull in
the de-compression lever. push the kick lever a little bit more to get the
piston past TDC. Now release the de-compression lever. Give the throttle a 1/4 turn then let it snap closed. A diaphragm,
(Power valve), in the carb gives a shot of gas when this is done. DO NOT
do this multiple times because you will flood the engine. Leave the
throttle closed when kicking. A flooded engine will often
backfire. Now give a strong kick through the full sweep of the kick start
lever. Quickly get your foot off the kick lever at the end of the kick to avoid
any chance of "kickback" from the kick lever. This happens in the
case of a misfire, aka > backfire. It can be very painful, and can even
break a leg. I am serious about that. Repeat the process (but without the
throttle priming), for six kicks. After six kicks go ahead and twist the
throttle again for a second priming. A good battery, a clean spark plug, a
clean carb and clean air filter will also aid in starting. Note that not
all carbs have a power valve. When a power valve is not present you should crack
the throttle open only 1/8 inch from closed on each kick. Please take a moment and rate my answer. Thanks!
hi mate take the spark plug out and buy a compression tester somewhere and insert in the hole where the spark plug is and see how much compression there is if it goes over 100psi (6 bar) then your piston rings are ok if not replace them
