It sat over the winter. We took the battery out we put fuel stabilizer and such and did all the neeeded winterizing stuff.

well now that it is riding season i want to ride.. DUH... and it either wont start or once its starting it wont stay running without the choke on. I had the carbs cleaned and its put back to gether and now the problem continues kind of.

it was running about 4 days ago. It ran for a good hour before we put it back in the garage. I went to start it the next morning and guess what. nothing. it wouldnt turn over. the battery is practically new i bought it less than a year ago.

my boyfriend and i have started geting into fights over the bike and he's to the point that i should just have it fixed and sell it for something newer....

any ideas on what is wrong with it or what i should do to it??

Nice! A happy ending. When you put fuel stabilizer in the tank at the beginning of winter, did you run the bike to get the treated gas into the carbs?
