Motorcycle won't start

yeah lmao I believed that by holding in the clutch and having the bike move meant that the engine was fine and could turn. That is my fault.

 

Pull the spark plugs and see if the engine wants to turn then. Cover the plug holes with some rags in case it's good news, there could be geysers.

 

Ok I pulled the spark plugs but the bike just clicked again and nothing happened.

 

Did you unscrew and remove all spark plugs - not just unplug the caps ...?

 

Oh no I'm dumb I didnt remove the spark plugs I just unpluged the caps. I try that out tomorrow thanks.

 

You need to slow down, read suggestions carefully and ask questions.

What does Hydro-lock mean?
What do you mean by "pull the plugs"? (Hint: there's a hole to cover with a rag when you actually remove the spark plugs)

Also, choose your terminology correctly.

"I got a fully charged new battery and a new starter". Most people would take this to mean (from your very first post) you bought and installed an actual new starter motor. Not a cheap, generic starter relay.

I'm really starting to think what VERY little oil is in this engine is VERY dirty.

 

Yeah you are right I just really wanted to fix my bike fast but I realize I need to slow down and read everything. I really do apprecitate all the help you guys are giving me and I will ask more questions if I don't understand something. I will check the oil but it will honestly be a good idea to change it anyway because I am not sure when the last time the oil has been changed.

 

You did actually CHECK the oil at some point when you got this bike, right?

 

Yes I did check the oil and it was new and filled up when I got the bike that was one of the first things I checked.

 

REMOVE SPARK PLUGS FROM HOLES IN ENGINE - ALL FOUR, cover said holes with rags, try and crank motor. If successful you will have a mess on your hands, do it in an appropriate area.

 

Recommended with the best intention: You could consider asking a Honda workshop to quote a repair it for you. They will know what to look for and how to handle what needs to be done. No matter what is wrong with the bike a preventive service is also good.

 

changing oil won't fix your problem.

 

No, but running the bike without oil may cause it

With regret I think the safest advice to give now is that you take your VFR to a garage and leave it to a competent technician.

Sadly your responses to the often detailed advice being provided to you from several contributors, suggests that English may not be your native language. Which is worrying as whilst relying on translation programs may be fine for many tasks, in this specific case it may create unacceptable danger for you.

Whilst it is very clear that folks on this forum have endeavoured to help you, I think it may be potentially dangerous to offer any further advice just in case that it is misinterpreted, and you end up doing something which could see you coated in fuel - possibly whilst smoking! or something equally unwise.

In my first post, I specifically suggested that you to update your forum profile to include an approxmate location.

You chose not to do this - which is fine - but it does rule out the possibility that someone on the forum who lives nearby might get in touch andoffer to swing by and provide hands on advice/help rather than try and depend on remote advice provided from members scattered across the planet.

As the old saying goes - sometimes there is no substitute for the Mark 1 eyeball - and this seems one.

Take care - and please let us know what the garage finds was actually wrong with your VFR
