Re: f4i help

pull the plugs out,turn it over and let the oil shoot out,put the plugs back in and start it up.

Re: f4i help

these guys are on the right track if its making a clicking sound then it is more than likely the battery is shot i recommend testing it first with a battery tester if you dont have one take the battery out and take it to walmart they will test it for you if the battery is good then do what adjmart1 said that exactly how you clear a hydro lock pull the plugs out and turn it over but i recommend placing a rag over the plug ports so oil doesn't shoot everywhere.!!!!!!!!!

Re: f4i help

^^^???? it makes sense that your bike is hydro locked, what are the odds of the battery/starter going out at the same time as the hydro lock taking place
