Bike will not start

Compression? ...engine turns over but will not start??? = How fast a spin are we taking?
Fuel? ... Gas is 3/4 = Like BW stated, we have gas, but is it flowing to the carb/pumped to the injector?
Spark? ...strong battery......good plug wires....all other electrical working?????? = Plug and other electrical is what? Do we have spark?; then go look with an old plug or get a shock holding the plug wire off the spark plug: that's what is missing is spark if comp and gas is there.
Walk up to the bike with a used spark plug, connect the lead and ground it to the head. Is there spark or not?
It's just the 3amigos and one is a bandit not starting things. Who is it?

Ya need air,gas and spark to start. You aren't gettin one of them. If you have spark take the gas line off at the carb and see if gas is getting to it.
