Did nearly 30Kon my last 12 no problem.
Tried to depart for the sunny south this morning and the dreaded EWS gremlin struck. Currently waiting for BM breakdown

Not seen an EWS problem for a while, what year bike?

Turns out it wasn't EWS (altho that's what showed on the dash) Got recovered to Rainbow where it turned out to be battery. Bike -08- is ridden regularly and kept on a BM charger but in Rainbow's experience that sometimes buggers the battery. Anyway thanks to Rob and Dave for sorting me out.
Didn't please SWMBO as I was supposed to be visiting for weekend "Why didn't you come in the car?"

"Very Common" EWS warning but as stated by you...Bad Battery.
Has happened to me and a few hundred others in the last few years.
"So when *EWS* strikes",...don't be so quick to think you're SOL...it just may be a weak/bad battery,requiring a jump to help get you and the bike to safety/repairs..!
