I sold my '00 and bought a blue '08 over the summer. I put a new exhaust, power commander, laser jammer, and wiring for radar detector on the bike myself. I know I remember starting it up after putting everything on, and it sounded and ran fine, though I didn't actually ride it.
I've been busy lately so it's been sitting in the garage for about 3-4 months on front and rear stands. Stupid me haven't had the battery tender hooked up to it, so the battery was dead. I jumped it off, but it still won't start. It turns over like a champ, but won't fire. I looked at all the wiring I did, and everything seems connected and fine. I even unhooked the power commander completely and made it stock as far as that bit is concerned to see if it was botching something with the fuel, nothing. I unhooked the fuel like and nothing seems clogged, at least up to that point.
It only has 64 miles on it. I did a few burn in runs before I did all the work. I replaced the oil and filter as I was doing all of it.
I'm not very tech savy as far as troubleshooting engines, just the basics, so any help is appreciated.
