I put new plugs in it. The old ones came out completely black. The bike came with extra oil. Only negative was it was in the bike. Been riding around without the muffler for a week or so because it cracked near the header attachment.

This weekend after a cold start it burped a couple times then died. Haven't been able to get it started since. O2 sensor is not hooked up due to a broken wire that I just found while changing the plugs.

It turns over just fine, but doesn't even try to fire up. Anyone have any suggestions before I submit to the dealership?

Since it turns over:
A)no spark - plug wires, coil, ECM/injectors
B)no fuel to burn - fuel pump, injectors

Since the plugs were black, you probably have plenty of fuel.

Best I can do long-distance

I am getting a spark from the plug which I tested visually. Would that rule out wires, coil, ECM/injectors?

That rules out wires and the coil. If the plugs are fouled, that could prevent it from firing the air/fuel mix even though you have a spark.

Get it started yet?
