It’s not a mistake…. first lets clear that up. It’s a personal preference most base on the idea that the the odds are very high that you may drop the bike within you first 2 years of riding and taking a hit on the resale value when/if you do sell it. As with anything concerning riding it’s all about risk and what your willing to accept.
Personally both of my bikes I bought new and don’t regret it once.
As far as the no start. If your lights and everything is working it could be as simple as operator error. Make sure the Kickstand is up and in neutral. Turn on the engine switch then hit the starter button. If it fires right up …… staying in neutral drop the kickstand back down. If the engine cuts off you may have a bad safety switch ( assuming the bike has one). Some come with a safety switch that will not allow you to start it in gear without the clutch in . So make sure you pull the clutch lever also.
If it does not start…. being that it is an ’09. Then the next step you should take is to call the dealership and have them come and either pick up the bike to check it out for you… or to trade for a non problematic one. You just could have gotten a bad luck draw of a 5 o’clock Friday bike.
