Bike won't start

[dave hendy]

Morning Tossers
Having left it on the optima the 4 overnight.
The distinctive click and whir of magic elic-trickery things , before you turn the key to the second position and fire it over .
It started first time .
But reading the further posts I will mention it to oceans today when I'm passing, because of the key warning coming up on the console and having had a second key cut and coded while it was in getting the 6k service is just to much of a coincidence.
Thanks again for the advice lads

That's good news! I keep mine on the Optimate when ever it is in the garage never had any problems that way with any of my bikes

Not a good day.
A double drop today, so she is now sporting a couple of battle scars.

Pulled out of a junction turning right don't know what happen , bang down she went, right hand side....Doh the usual adrenaline picked it up , so I walked around the bike balancing it , then put the side stand down , a quick check all ok, so jumped on to pull it over to the side of the road drove over to the side of the road , a bad camber and bang down I went left side, this one dislodged the back box and me tits up on the pavement. This time I took my time getting up and when I had lifted her up the back box is scratched and dented, the crash bars have done their job and the hand guard a few scratches .
I think I need platform shoes ,hahah

The bike is probably just pissed off with you for being so clumsy TWICE! In a few minutes...

Look on the bright side, at least the bike started... twice.

Why did you tumble off, twice? You looked down at the road, twice. You go where you look.

You need to go find the "my crash bars are scratched" thread now!
Or you just tell everyone how you bashed them in Mongolia.

Yeah bloody clumsy,
No problems with the spots smb.
Johnny B . I had just filled it up and my 29 inside leg size can feel the difference, so I've not got a hope in hell of handling an adventure with the bigger tank. Even lent over on a flat piece of road with the side stand down.
Wapping you are probably right , not consciously thinking about it I probably did.
