Check your battery voltage, make sure it os really putting out on all six cells, charge iy up to 13.??? , then it will fire off with the new plugs! Probably need fresh fuel too! The fuel we get now can go bad real quick! !!

prolly just low battery voltage. Not uncommon for mine to sit up for a month at a time, and it starts no problem.

Thanks for all the suggestions changing the spark plugs did the trick, One thing I discovered was the guy who worked on my bike last replaced the plugs with some NGK CR9E instead of the NGK CR9EIA-9 which the bike came with. The plugs that were remove were totally black on the ends, I assume this is heavy carbon. I added a little fuel injector cleaner, to help with that old gas in the tank. On tomorrow I will add some fresh gas and a little more fuel injector cleaner, the bike run well now.
Thanks again for all the help..
