Id pull the spark plug & see how it acts if you find the battery is good. How long did it sit since the last time the battery would start it?
Like you, Id look at the battery first, & it does sound pretty sad.

What year bike?

Bikes with the torque limiter have washers that jump out before you get to see where they go.  And more often than not, they get put back in the wrong place.

Easy way to check, pull the starter, reach in the starter hole with your fingers and turn the gear, should turn easily in one direction and not in the other.  Also should be quite a bit of end play on both of the gears.

is this the gear u are talking about? if so it does not move in either direction, but the gear on the starter moves in either direction

kinda lost me in that post, im supposed to have to washer that go around that gear, and its supposed to have one on each side of the gear?  

once i got the cover off and put a washer on each side of the gear should i be able to turn it freely while the cover is off too? also are they just regular flat washers? because i think i only have one washer if i remember correctly because the gear and washers did fall when i pulled cover off.

ohh and yea i said eewww too, but im trying to get it running again then ill wash it. i hate oil leaks

i like pictures lol ty bubba i think that washer that fell out i stuck on the number 3 part not the number 1, becuase #3 is what fell out not #1 and there was a washer that also fell and i just figured that it fell off with #3.

im gona take a look at it tonight when i get off work becuase i gota empty out my oil bucket and but some more oil. ill let you know how it turns out as soon as im done.

well bubba you were right, that darn little washer is what was wrong. yu saved me a lot of work i had in mind. and probably still would not of gotten in right. your a life saver.

i thanks everyone else for helping me aswell.

i just have one more question. in my picture i posted earlier to the bottum left of the starter hole there is a hole, is that suppose to be there? just wondering.  if your not sure were im talking about its right underneath the bolt to the left of the hole.

lol, thats what i figured i just wanted to make sure so i could decide on what fish to buy.

ok well im back with another issue..

was driving down the highway and the bike kinda shutoff on me, i pulled over, switched it over to reserve and took the nearest exit while it shut off again but started right up and then i got into the gas station were it shut off again so i decided to fill it up anyways and didn't have a problem since then.

As i was leaving my father in-laws house he pointed out there was oil down the right side of the bike. I was like "oh crap" i check the oil level and it was full so i was looking around the engine and and seen a spot that it looked like it was leaking from. i will put up some pictures to see if you all could tell me if that hole is supposed to be there for part of the fish tank or if i blew a small hole in the engine.


picture 1 to give you idea were im talking about


picture 2 is a close up


im just curious because it seems like thats were the oil was leaking from but its not low either.
