    Lol, obviously you've never ridden a bike bigger than your fxr. Thats about the most modern road bike with a kick start.

    Eh! Wrong!
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Get someone elses screw driver, and with the bike all set up to start, ie stand up, key on etc etc short the starter solenoid out. See if it cranks then.
    David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.

    Do not do this if you have a weak heart or are of a nervous disposition. And wear old trousers.

    My only other thought would be a lose connection somewhere, water in electrics or maybe part of the wiring loom is shorting into the chassis.

    Definitely sounds like a job for the bike shop unless you like the idea of playing hunt the needle in the hay stack all weekend.

    Did the shop find the problem for you or are you booked in for next week?
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    An Auto Electrician should be able to rectify the problem whilst waiting for the orient express, even if just a temporary bypass??

    It's always the little things.. Eh Dover?
