So the bike ran OK before you did the oill change and coolant flush ? If so can you be more specific about exactly what is happening now when you press the starter button ?

Ok!!! the bike work perfectly before I do a oil change and coolant change. Now, when I pressed on the E start, it has this hazzz..... sounds somewhere inside the bike. Also, the light weaken everytime I press on the E start button. I also tried to twist the throttle and the mph indicator comes up and go down whenever I did that. I have no idea now. :smt099

Battery, sounds like it to me if speedo moves up and down. Charge battery, go from there...

yeah, low battery or loose battery connections, or a bad earth somewhere

Check any wires and connections incase something has been pulled out or chaffed through.

Sounds like a flat battery.

How much oil is in the sump is the level correct ?

I had a fuel leak and the fuel leaked into the sump and it was way overfilled with oil and petrol mixed together, my bike wouldnt start and gave the same symptoms as you describe even though the battery was fine.

Might be worth double checking your oil level as a precaution, Its probably not the oil level though.

Thanks to everyone that give me a hand on the problem!! I finally get the bike started by recharging the battery and replaced some new spark plug to the bike!!! the bike started up a bit chokey in the first place, then i run it up to 5000 rpm for 5mins. It sounded normally after that!!!! so thanks for everyone here gave me advice n safe ride to everyone~~~~:safe:
