Well my bike has now broken down. Looks like an electrical problem again, I hope so anyway and not the starter motor.
Something is shorting out, if I take all the fuses out and put them all back it starts but if I stop it shorts out again, very frustrating.
I will be trying to fix it but running out of time and patience with the thing.

Should buy a Hardly at least they only use oil........ Evil or Very Mad

No no no...... maybe because of too much chrome on the bike.

I hope not too serious.

Hey Stew, it may be from the humidity. try cleaning and spraying water repellant on all the safety switches. foot stand - clutch lever etc. the switches are usually sealed but have a mechanical device that operates them and can get stuck at times. Other than that look at the coil and ignition connections under tank etc. check and tighten. with your electronic gizmos though you may need the help of the dealer

Thanks Dave took your advice re ignition. Seems like that is where the problem is so cleaned the plugs and it is starting, so at worst I know where the problem is and how to fix it.
