Got the VR in the mail earlier this week, went out and bought a RC plane fuel tank to do the overflow tank thing [which looks great!], the R6 short can should be in today with the rest of my mail, got a new maint. free battery all charged and ready to go. Itll crank, but the damn thing wont start! its got gas in the tank, air filter's clean, and good spark across all 4 cyl. but no dice. had a bit of an issue looking for the choke since i was used to the choke on my kawi 250 being on the left handle bar and to my surprise this one didnt seem to have it there, but by where the petcock would be on a regular bike? [unless im blind and it was there all along]

I'll be giving it a thorough carb cleaning next week since ill have time then and see how it goes. But before i start taking things off it, anyone have any input as to what else it could be?
