Engine turning but not starting?

I wish I had more money.
I had a bike that was hard to start like this when it was cold. To the t. If the motor was warm it would fire right over. If it was cold outside, like 45 or less it was a slug. Would barely turn over and if it did it would hardly fire. Very aggravating. Can you pull the bike in the house?

It will be 65* here tomorrow so if it is the temp. hopefully tomorrow will tell. I don't have a way to pull it in the house. Maybe the CR's will help even if it is the cold weather.

I took the bike to the shop today to get the Compression Release installed. I hope this takes care of my starting problems.

Bobby I don't have a way to test it but the shop said the battery tested ok.

Yeah Stacey I feel you pain girl, they didn't have a manual for me when I picked up my bike and then they later mailed it to me. During that time when I first got my bike I ended up shearing the gear of my starter from applying throttle while starting. It clearly states in the manual not to do that but hell if I knew. Congrats on getting going. :2thumbs:
