    Hi My XB12Sss turns over but won't fire. Seems to want to fire on 1 cylinder but won't quite catch. Any advice would be welcome.

    Fouled plugs, loose plug wire, empty fuel tank, loose battery cables, bad battery or grounded fuel pump. Start with the obvious. And work your way thru. Check the tank, wiggle the plug wires, test the battery.

    On a side note, if my Buell would of rolled over and fired on command. I might not have sold it :D

    07bolt Should'a got that message before i bought mine.

    Plugs seem to be firing but won't run. Guess I'll change plugs and see where that goes.
