Just got my bike back from the CSS Almeria trip. Just thought I would run it for a few minutes.
alarm off, key in press the starter --- nothing :mad:
check the fuses --- all ok still nothing :mad::mad:
That when I notice the kill switch Doh !!!
:lol::lol::lol:
never done that myself:saint:
well, maybe once.....
OK, going to fess up to this one...
I went to start the Triumph only to find that it made a click noise but wouldn't turn over. The battery on the 999 is always going flat so I naturally thought the same had happened to the Triumph as I hadn't riden it for few days. Wrong! You have to pull the clutch in or the starter won't turn. It's only my daily commute bike and I had forgotten. Duh.
Only happened once, in front of many at Box Hill... my so called mate stick it on for a laugh, git.
wahoo, just realised my membership icon just came on! yay me!
i know a wee chapie who has his kill switch on:lol: when we was in cartagena:lol: he didnt why his 996r wouldnt start?:lol::lol:
GUILTY!
I've managed to kick my habit of using the kill switch to stop the bike running. I use the key all the time now.
