With the kill-switch on, it should run. If not, then you'll need to check all the basics... fuel-lines, vacuum-lines, electric connections, etc. And, be SURE you're holding the rear-brake lever on, AND be sure the side-stand is not down. It should start OK sitting on the center-stand, but NOT with the side-stand down. In my earlier reply, I did say be sure BOTH stands are up. I was wanting to be SURE no ignition interlocks were engaged, but it should be started on the center-stand, just for safety. You don't want it to "run-away" with you if you start it with the wheels on the ground... THAT is why they require the rear-brake to be engaged when starting. If it's on the ground, that ensures it stays put... LOL! I got your message about the oil. With a quart of oil in the engine, it should show near full on your dipstick. Better check to be sure the drain-plug is in, and that oil didn't run out, as you put it in. There's only ONE place to fill the engine oil, that's the dipstick "hole"... so I can't imagine accidentally putting the new oil in the wrong place. But that new oil must be somewhere. You'll get it running OK... Sometimes it just takes some real patience and thorough inspection. Ride safe! Leo in Texas
