    I already noticed a thread in the forum where its a similar problem, but I tried bypassing the sidestand switch and the bike still doesnt start even though now when I hold starter button there is spark. Do you have any ideas what else it could be? Note: The engine was just rebuilt, but it has good compression and everything like it should be.

      Could be a lot of things.. but everything is probably not as it should be if it's not starting..
      What I can think of:
      -Leaky crank seals
      -Damaged/leaking reed/intake
      -Carb issue
      -Ignition angle off (flywheel key?)

      Is the spark plug wet? Is there a good suction pulse from the carb when kicking it? With some experience you can feel it if you cover the carb with your hand on full throttle while kicking/cranking the engine. It should not blow, only suck, and the pulse should be 'strong enough'. Old fuel can make it hard to start too.
