Hi I have a 2001 Hayabusa that won't turn over. When I start the bike up I can hear the engine trying to turn over, it just seems like it is sputtering. If I open the throttle wide and hold the throttle for a while it will crank up. I don' think it's a battery issue, purchased a new battery and same problem. Me and my buddy just installed new NGK iridium plugs and still the same issue. I've read on here that it may be the rectifier, but if that was it wouldn't that drain my battery. That doesn't seem to be the case at all as my battery still seems pretty strong. I live in the Philadelphia area and the last time I rode was about a month ago because of the cold weather. The last time I rode I had about a quarter tank of gas left in it. Could it be that the gas went bad? When I finally got the bike started I went to the gas station and filled the tank up, and added stabil. Even if I put new gas in could the bad gas still be the problem? If that could be the problem how do you correct that? Don't know what the problem is please help
