Bike wont start!!!!

Fuel doesn't go bad that fast, it can sit all winter and be fine.
As u push the bike your running fuel through it and fouling the plugs. The more you do that the worse it gets.
If it ran before and you have gas then you have fouldthe plugs. Did u just buy this bike? If so and your just running it in the underground then that's a problem as well. The old gsxrs need to be wound out.

if you are going to go throught the trouble of putting new plugs in....you might want to purge the motor out. It let it sit with the plugs out for a few mins to let the cyliinders dry out.

I suspect you won't even need to swap the plugs out if you let it sit for a while....it takes a combination of choke/throttle to get older carb bikes started in this colder weather after they have been sitting a while.

I found the older gsxr plugs foul bad, even a light heat or letting sit wont help. If you can ge a propane tourch then use that until its glowing red. its probly arching down in the bottem of the plug.

I agree man, I am pretty sure the bike will start without having to change the spark plugs, letting it sit for a while will do the trick

Also, Make sure to not burn your starter by continuously trying to start the bike

Today's fuel has a "shelf life" as short as 10 days. I have seen "brand new" fuel start to varnish within 2 weeks of purchase. It's not that common, but it does happen. This short life span can be made worse by leaving the gas in a moist environment that changes temperatures frequently. I agree that you need to make sure that the bike actually gets up to full operating temperature, but winding out an engine will not fix a carburation problem.

To the OP: you may have to clean your carbs out as well. Based on your described issues you may have a (few) pilot jets plugged (or partially plugged).
