Welp easy come easy go i guess - back to not starting.
Before i got it started yesterday i took out the plugs and gave em a good clean, when i took em out today and checked them, they do in deed produce good sparks to the end and side electrodes, i cleaned them, put them back in, and i guess i flooded it again by trying to start with the killswitch off.
An attempt at a plugs-in deflood did actually start the bike though ( choke off, full throttle, fuel tap off, also took vac line off), the engine started and ran while i fumbled to get the fuel tap on and vac line back in to keep it running. I didnt expect it to start like this, but i did expect it to start afterward.. Which it did not. :/
This is a pic of one of the rear plugs.. http://imgur.com/g8Khdt7 The fronts are a real PITA to get out and would be even more so if the fairings were on it.. Ill probably buy some new ones tomorrow if anywhere is open.. batterys flat so no more start attempts tonight.
[35 video] Is this running on 2/3 cylinders?

put new plugs in,leave fuel tap on,make sure vac pipe is good and sealing,half choke,no throttle and spin it over with a good battery..
