Yo guys,

Me again. :(

So here's the issue. I rode to school and 8 hours later rode home. 15mins after that I rode to a friends house to drop something off. I leave right away.

I go to start my bike and the starter turns like normal, but the engine doesn't start. Luckily I was on a hill so I just pop started it.

I'm home now and I have the same issue. Although the battery is way weak now cause of my testing. Starter turns but engine doesn't start.

Any ideas? Thanks a million.

Voltage regulator perhaps?! I know they are a common problem on R6's.
