Big shoutout of thanks to you guys...
Bike wouldn't start yesterday morning, but I went throuigh logically and found and identified the problem
Petrol
Air
Spark.
What you guys taught me.
Petrol tank was full, all cables seemed to be ok, EFI check was showing no errors.
Air .. nothing I can do about that really..
Spark. Well the starter isn't turning over, checked battery voltage (dunno why, the lights were bright) and connections, the kickstand switch. I was about to give up and I remembered...
So no only does the switch below the kickstand stop the engine, there is a cable from below the clutch so you have to pull in the clutch to start the bike. If it is unplugged, bike won't start.
Not sure how it go unplugged but it is taped on securely now.
EDIT : If you super-helpful techie ones post a reply, I'll give you some rep for it.
