    More info. When you turn the key do you hear the fuel pump whine? does the engine turn over?

    fuel issue/thanks for the interest!

    when I turn the key there is no whine..I have to turn on/off many time to get the whine(prime?) to work... When it does, the bike starts as normal!!! any quick fix or does a trip to the shop sound like the best fix?

    have you checked the fuel pump and/or the connections to the pump?

    I think you've pretty much nailed down the cause. Fuel pump isn't priming for some reason.
