Got my M400 back form overseas after a year in storage, filled the tank, hooked up the tender. She won't fire up. She cranks but doesn't kick. She's carb'd. I've done a couple throttle twists. Before packing her up, I had to run her dry.

What am I missing? Do I need to squirt fuel directly into the carb? Where can I look?

Check the fuel filter.

You have to use Japanese gas.  American gas will just clog the fuel lines.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Can I just splash some gas into the filter?

I'd check to see if there is fuel in the bowls.

Loosen the drain screws to find out.

If yes...you could try a squirt of gas or ether to see if it will fire.

If no...you need to find the blockage/restriction.

BTW...how's tricks?
