    Issues starting and running, HELP.

    I have a 08' 525xc. I haven't ridden it in over a year and figured I would start it up and go for a ride finally. I drained the old gas and put new gas in and replaced the battery because I went to charge the old one up and I hooked it up wrong, idiot.

    Anyways it wont start with the push button, just cranks and never turns over. Next I had my friend pull me behind my truck to bump start it, I pulled the clutch out and it started instantly but if i pulled the clutch in it died immediatly or if I hit the gas no revving or any reaction.

    Where do I start? Thanks in advance Ryan
