i have an 2007 xt225 yamaha and i haven't started it in about 2 months but i have tried to, and every time i try the bike makes the clicking noise like its trying to start but it doesn't; it just keeps rotating. The last time this happened the people at the bike shop said that the carborator was flooded so they had to drain it. Could this be the problem, if so how do i drain the carb.
P.S. it has been really cold out.
 
it probably would be easier to take your spark plugs out and heat them up with a lighter and stick them back in and try to start it. if it is going to sit for a while you should put some stabilizer or sea foam in it. i would probably put some sea foam in it any way to clean out the crap that might be in the carb.
 
to drain flooded carb

1. turn fuel to 'off'
2. hold throttle wide open
3. turn over for about 20 seconds
4. turn fuel back on
5. pull choke
6. turn over - should start now
