Well It's back to basics.....check your battery connections...check your fuel...take a plug out and see if it sparks against the head ,with the h/t lead on of course.

Okay, the bike will start but it doesn't stay started. The bike is a month old.

The bike was running well yesterday. Last night it was windy and a plastic bag got stuck on the muffler. This morning, it wouldn't start. It will start briefly now but dies with in seconds. Could the plastic bag have anything to do with this?

I'm sorry. You are a new poster! Forgive me. Have the dealer check the battery. Sounds like it has a internal short. Sorry again!!
