Wow, youre a bundle of laughs.

You were the one demanding contempt so I felt compelled to accept the request

FEEL FREE TO TAKE THE PISS.

I made the derogatory post but I didn't "shout"

A tad harsh, so he got it wrong and admitted it. We all make mistakes, don’t we?

it was meant to be harsh. You do not appear to be new here so should have worked out the place by now

I deleted the original post because it’s not my place to comment on your post. So, if that’s how you feel.. have a good day.

Dead battery, full petrol tank. Managed to remove the battery by propping up the tank. Pair of gloves over the frame , as insulation against spanner earthing, more of that later
New battery, anyway shorted the spanner against the frame, as glove fell offframe.
I know positive should be fitted first. Tried to save time and effort.
Bike won't start, no spark. I've fried the cdi unit haven't I!
Checked the fuses on R/H side under sidepanel, all look OK.

Engine turns over, all lights work, apart from the neutral light. That seems odd, does this have any relevance?
Side stand relay clicks on and off when sidestand is moved.
Relay behind the R/H panel clicks, when ignition turned on, fairly sure it's for the Digiplex.
Did I mention that I hate myself?
Any thoughts about it being something other than the Digiplex unit?

Well, if that’s how you feel.. have a good day.

Regardless, if you hadn't suggested checking the earths, I would not have shone my inspection lamp into the black hole. So thank you.

Glad you got it sorted, thats the main thing, right?

Today you can start her up, get out and enjoy the monsoon weather

Or go to the MOT place, booked a while ago.

any mechanic that says he never made a mistake ................. IS A LIAR.

Well I did sort of say that but he was busy being grumpy

It was not actually a coil wire as I thought, but the main feed to the ignition

Hey ho

The other thing about being a "mechanic"

There are NO shortcuts!! Do it once do it right !!
