If the engine is turning over but won't start, your battery is fine. You've either got a fuel problem or an ignition problem Take the spark plugs out of the heads and put them back into the spark plug wires. Lay the plugs on the heads so that they are grounded against the engine. Turn the ignition switch on and press the start button. Watch the spark plugs to see if you have spark to the plugs. Don't get your face too close to the spark plug holes as a lot of air will blow out of them. If you do have spark, put the spark plugs back in the heads and take the air filter cover and element off of the carb. Look just inside the mouth of the carb and you'll see a brass nozzle standing up. With the engine OFF, crank the throttle grip to the wide open position. You should see a good stream of fuel squirt out of the nozzle into the carb. If not, there is no fuel in the carb. Pull the fuel line off the petcock. Turn the igniton switch on and spin the engine and watch for a good flow of fuel out of the petcock. If you don't have any fuel flowing out of the petcock, replace the petcock. You can either drain the fuel from the tank or take the tank off the bike to replace it.
Good Luck
