  • Trying to diagnose and repair a Kawasaki dual sport motorcycle that has been sitting for a few years. Engine turns over, but won't start.....
    Bike is a 2000 Kawasaki Super Sherpa. 250cc engine, 6 speed transmission. I bought it from a neighbor, who got it from his father. It has been in storage, and shows some wear, but overall in decent shape. We try to fix it.
