New batery. When i turn the key the lights come on. With the kickstand up and clutch in and the bike in neutral, when i push the start button my lights dim but there's no sound.
The nutral light is coming on.
I already tried bypassing the clutch sensor and i don't think the kickstand has a sensor. The batery is charged and when i jump it with my cars batery it has the same problem.
People keep giving me recommendations on what kind of oil to use. I want manufacturer spec oil! I understand no normal car oil because it throws your clutch out. I just got this bike for pennies on the dollar and i need to change the oil before i can see if it starts… Well and a new batery and some fresh fuel. Oh and how much oil do i need?
This is all theoretical, but I'm looking at bikes to begin riding on. Most of my money will be spent on college tuition since I recently found out I was accepted so if I do end up buying a bike it'll most likely be after I get my degree.
Other bikes I have a knack for are:
BMW 65/5 & 75/5
Honda cb750
I guess bikes between '60-'85
Honda dirtbike sprocket interchangeable? - 1
I recently bought a second hand Honda CG125, 2008 and everything has been fine - until now.
I did a stupid, put it on the stand on a hill and of course it tipped and fell onto it's right side (if you're sat on it).
There's some cosmetic damage and the front indicator bulb has gone, but the biggest problem is it won't start now!
Something leaked when it fell over (?), but I got it up with in a minute, didn't try to start it just rolled it in neutral into my yard.
Once in the yard I tried to start it and the engine rolled over and there was a loud ticking sound. I stopped, waited for a minute and then tried again and there was NOTHING - no ignition, no engine. I turned the bike off, did some quick googling and went outside to try it again, this time the electrics weren't working at all!
It's been an hour or two since now, and the electrics have started working again. The ignition is on a button, and when I press it the lights dim, but still absolutely no ignition or engine.
Any ideas what's happened? Is there any way I can get it started at home myself?
I'm inexperienced with bikes, so please include details!
I'm on a ~$4000 budget, which is perfect for a new Honda Cb300f or Cbr300r and seeing as I work a full-time minimum wage job, I just do not see a car being practical for me. Too expensive, gas, insurance, and I wouldn't even be getting a good car on my budget, I would be getting a car that has been driven to hell and looks like sh*t on my budget. I'm willing to take all Motorcycle safety classes and wear all protective gear, (I have been riding bicycles heavily to and from work/school for the past 5 years of my life), but my ignorant mom still insists me getting a piece of sh*t car is better for both me and her. I want to learn, I'm willing to learn however I just feel like this is best. Is that so bad? Or should I just continue on riding a bicycle well into my adult years?
I'm 15 1/2, 6ft and 150 pounds and I'm thinking about buying a Honda crf150f dirt bike. A lot of people say I'm too big but I have 0 experience. I hear it's a good learning bike.

I have a 97 Honda Cbr 600 F3 that has been in the shop for 8 months every time I get it back the bike shuts off after 30 miles of riding it, it does this as soon as I pull in the clutch coming to a stop. That is until I lost compression in the motor and all but one cylinder stopped firing. Does anyone have any ideas as to what happened?
