I'm betting weak battery, its that time of year. Jump it off a NON running car battery. I bet it starts right up.

Have you cleaned or replaced any parts resently like say cleaned and over oiled the K&N air filter.

Batteries are always a source of problems.

if you jump start it... ALWAYS ALWAYS do it off a NON-running car!!!!
