So long story, I went to start my bike this morning and did what I normally do, key, ON, choke, make sure its in Neutral, push button- Nothing. Sputter but thats it. Didnt even try to turn over. I did this a few times. I even took the air filter out and sprayed starter fluid into the carbs. BTW, my K&N air filter smelled like gas. I figured a flooded it so I let it sit for an hour. Went down to start it again. Same steps as before. I hit start the bike jumps into gear moves far enough for the kickstand to go up and BOOM, right down to the floor. I happened so fast I couldnt grab it. Luckily my bike is naked so no plastics. All that broke was the bar end mirror. Now I smell gas very strong so I'm not going to try and start it. What should I do? THis bike is frustrating me. One day its fine and will start with the first push other days nothing.

Check the floats, needles and seats in your carbs.... that sucks guy! good thing its naked

The valves probably need clearanced.

Valves? SOunds expensive. I'm starting to question my purchase of this thing! Its too old and is driving me nuts.

dnt sweat it just be patient ..check above tips along with usual stuff oil, plugs, wires , should be back to normal.

Here's a link for adjusting your valves. Not expensive at all, but a bit time consuming.

Rip those carbs off and have them ready for me. I'll rebuild them...

I should have some availability this week.

Ok. I will get them off tomorrow after summer school. It's supposed to rain anyway so I will have something to do.
