Lights come on strong, bike won't start. when i push the starter button and hold it down and then pull in the clutch a large banging sound comes from inside the right side of the gas tank
I put the kickstand up and down many times in case the safety switch was stuck. If I pull the clutch in and THEN push the starter button, nothing. If I hold the starter button in and THEN pull the clutch it bangs super loud on the right side.

Hi Noah, It's either fuel OR electrical, First check both spark plug and coil.. Pull spark plug out and visually inspect for any dirt touching both electrodes... Next, Plug the spark plug back into the spark plug lead and earth it to the motor(make sure the spark plug is touching metal)then try turning the motor to see if the spark plug is sparking...
Also the link below is a short YouTube video showing the right colour spark and it should spark over the top of the centre electrode,

If it does spark then it's a fuel problem. You need to pull your carby off and unscrew the bottom half from the top, 1st sign of a needle stuck inside the seat is a dry carby There you'll find the float, push the float up and down and see if the needle above the float slides up and down from the seat, If the needle stays up then it's stuck and NOT letting the fuel into the carby, Just pull it down with your fingers to loosen it up..I hope this helps.... CHEERS..
