    Corrosion on the battery cables? Loose battery connection? Rats eat some of the wires? What is the voltage on the battery as you try to start the bike?

Are all wires clean and with a solid connections? Check the loom. Any abraded wires? Check the operation of the ignition switch with a volt ohmmeter. Is the bike in neutral and the neutral light is lit up? If no neutral light, check the neutral switch and neutral switch wire on center casing. DickCanFixIt asked good questions. What are the answers?

Siren works, but no power to instrument after recharging battery. Nothing changed on the bike, was just sitting all winter.
There should be a small fuse box near the battery with probably three fuses inside. Have you checked those?

Sorry to tell you, but you may have to lay out a little more money for detailed instructions. Below is a website with repair manuals:

OR you might try looking at the electrical system, points, wires, plugs, distributor, rotor or whatever your cycle has in its electrical system.

You likely need a new starter. The whining is the starter motor slipping.
Hope this was helpful.

Yamaha TW 200 starts but won't run.
If the bike has sat for a long period of time without being run - the gas that is sitting in the carb(s) will shellac.. Then the carb(s) would need to be cleaned and "rebuilt"..

I have a 2003 roadstar. It started right away after sitting all winter. I rode for about 1 hour until old gas was gone enough to make light come on. I then filled up with new gas and rode for another hour....
Either the carb will need to be removed and thouroughly cleaned, or there is water condensation in the tank. I suggest a can of seafoam or equivelant.

The 2000 mountianeer starts and runs fine but shuts off
CHECK THE COLD START ENRICHMENT VALVE AND OR THE IDLE CONTROL VALVE. I AM ASSUMING THAT YOUR VEHICLE IS FUEL INJECTED. ONE OF THOSE HAVE GONE BAD.
