My bike has been standing in the garage for a couple of months and it won't start. When I try and press the start button th engine does not make a sound is there a battery?

new plugs and your done

Sounds like the starter relay is sticking. Then over heats the fuse and blows it. Check the relay and also check and clean the starter button to be sure it is not sticking on use contact cleaner. Be sure to read the label make sure it is safe to use on plastics.

As this point you can't get the bike to turn over is this correct? If the engine is turning over but won't start then yes the gas is most likely the problem. Gas after sitting for even a month can evaporate from the fuel system and it leave a fouls smelling deposit behind that clogs up everything. It stinks and it's a mess to clean out. To prevent this from happening use a product that is called "Fuel Stabilizer" in the last few tanks of gas before you put the bike away for the winter or a dormant period. If the motorcycle is in a hot climate or heated garage this foul smelling gas can happen within a few weeks.

Hi could be your engine has partially seized through being standing for so long just put it in gear and bump it over a few times to turn the engine over and get things moveing again if this doesnt work check your starter and solenoid switch connections are ok good luck

Hi from Spain,

no way to choke this fuel injected bike in theory....but by my experience try to start the bike with fully open throttle several times, take care do not flat the battery, if the bike has not much fuel do not try with the bike on the side stand so the fuel cannot reach the fuel pump inlet.

BR,

Emilio.

Kick stand is down bike won,t start. Bike has a safety engine stop on kick stand. Try to start with kick stand and the way in the up position. see owner's manual

Benelli Tornado TRE RS Starter motorfound this on ebay.

try removing the spark plugs . if there dirty clean the with a wire brush.. check the gaps on them are the same . might not be a bad idea to get new one.. if that doesent work its probably that your carbs are dirty or blocked.. if you leave your bike laid up too long the unburnt feul in the carbs evaporates and th additives in it remain and turn to goo.... a couple of hours work at your local garage.. wont cost much.. dont mess with them if your not sure

Check that the clutch is in, kick stand up, and neutral light ablaze. Then try your start button. When you had it running and hit the button, the starter engaged at a slower speed then the bike engine was turning, which led to the stall. The stall means your starter works. If the starter works when the engine is running then it is wiring. Check your kick stand wiring along with the clutch wires which plug in on the handlle bar or where the clutch cable enters the engine.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, let me run a couple of ideas you may want to try, check, explore or consider based on most bike designs:

• new battery - does the neutral and/or oil light lit up when key switched to ON;
• if no, main fuse blown normally 30 Amps, loose battery cable;
• if yes, is there an audible click when START button press;
• if no click sound, starter relay faulty;
• if there is clicking sound, check with voltmeter if +12 is present at big wire going to starter motor while START is pressed;
• if none, starter relay faulty;
• if yes, starter motor faulty (stuck up, probably carbon brushes);
  
• is Engine RUN switch ON;
• try with clutch in;
• exercise side stand;
• does the bike have an alarm/security/immobilizer.

Pls get back results.

A favor, I would rather that you please do not rate this solution (yet). Due to my current rank and standing, even a Helpful would be detrimental to my rating.

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.
