THANKS...will check before adding any more gas to the 1/2 full tank.Its worth a double check under the tank and air box to make sure the wiring harness is ok there have been others that had them chewed up.

THANK YOU ! I didn't know I had so many helpful NJ friends I was just in Tinton Falls area over T-giving. I will have to make it a point to look you guys up during my next visit....hopefully on 2 wheels instead of 4 this coming Spring.Here's a condensed schematic of the components involved in the starting circuit for the ST1300.
Perhaps you may find it useful as you chase down your 'won't start' issue.
There's more to it than that. A no-start will happen if the crank position sensor or cam pulse generator don't work or any of the injectors have failed, but those problems throw diagnostic codes (check those here). There are a half-dozen or so faults that don't result in a fault code ("no blinks") that are listed in the service manual that should be easy to run down.Here's a condensed schematic of the components involved in the starting circuit for the ST1300.
I'm still betting plugs are fouled.Plugs would be a long shot. It's not likely that all four would go south at the same time.

Yep they could have loaded up with a short idle run like that. Just needs to be blown out when it warms up.I'm still betting plugs are fouled.
I appreciate the thought.... although the gas is not old, maybe I got some gunk in the line. I'll go that direction next.I think you need to replace the gasoline in the bike it has probably bad with the ethanol in today's fuel. Start with the simple things before you go and start changing parts.
That would prevent it from cranking.Are you sure the handle bar kill switch is disengaging properly?
Not sure if I know the difference between the two. It's cranking over like the normal sound that you get for the 1st 3-4 seconds, but then no "catch" and varoom My cycle is garaged and does not sit any longer than the next non Winter road condition day.... THAT is why I'm in the market for heated gloves (lol). THANK YOU and I plan on checking the plugs,fuse and compression as soon as I finish counting to 10 s-l-o-w-l-y.Does it sound like it's cranking normally or just whirring over like there is no compression? If the latter is the case I'll bet the intake valves are sticking just slightly open not allowing any compression. This happened to me once after sitting a few weeks and it got colder.
A crank with no compression will have no "rythym" and be more like just a steady whirr from the starter motor. Just let us know what you find missing ie Spark, Fuel, Compression. That will get us headed in the right direction to find the culprit.Not sure if I know the difference between the two.
Based on above: crank Will check back once I've gotten deeper into the other suggested basic items on Sat.
