The beer will go down well. Over the hill could be a goer then.

I might not be able to make it tonight. Depends on whether I can get the bike started!!! It's flooded!

Haven't been on the bike since Sat and left it till today, went out and tried to start her and she wouldn't! So now off to do some research in solving the problem....

On my bikes I make sure the choake is off and then hold the throttle wide open while pressing the start button for a few seconds, then try again as normal.
If the starter will work with the kill switch turned to off then I'd have it in the off position for the clearing procedure (throttle wide open bit).
It may take off with a roar if the kill switch is in the run position and it clears quickly.

That's how I clear my bikes anyway.

Oh yeah, sometimes just walking away and trying again in 5 to 10 minutes is enough too.

Another thing... some bikes start best if you don't touch the throttle at all while pressing the starter button. can be a bit hard to do if you're holding the grip while reaching for the button with the thumb and you naturally twist... especially with small hands.
