If you don't have a multimeter, it's time for one.
Harbor Freight, cheap..
And a battery charger is essential. That's my opinion..
I think a compressor is essential for anyone who owns a vehicle.
Along with antifreeze checker, specific gravity checker for batteries,
jumper cables, tire plugs, etc, ET screaming Cetera,,, but I am just that way..

You can eyeball the bike, see, right by your right ankle, a wire bolted to the engine. Even if it looks okay, unless it tests zero ohms, pull the bolt, clean all contact surfaces.

Re: NEWBIE HELP Reply #16 - 08/22/15 at 19:48:43 No mechanical work needs done except to get the starter turning the motor over. Have you ever seen the motor turn over? If not, pull the plug again, get some oil in it, let it soak, I like Zoom oil, plastic tube, trace the wall of the cylinder, then, in gear , no plug, roll it,

Futzing with the carb and putting a new plug in a motor you're wanting to not be a money pit.. Step one, make sure the piston and rings don't wreck the cylinder.

...I tried it once and it wasn't even thinking about starting.

I've push started mine a couple of times without a problem. Put it in second or third makes it easier. In this case we don't need it to start (although it would be nice) to find out what I want to know. I want to know if the piston is moving.

We've seen one engine damaged,, oil in it... First, then in high gear, after oil sits, try gently rocking it. No spark plug. Prove its not seized. Maybe that's why it's not turning over. Do that, then known good battery.
