Well its happened...... Just when you think it'll never happen to you. My 2 week old 1200 . just finished work.... Jumped on turned the key. Did its checks , pressed the start button................

Display went off and little red light started flashing.
Turned it off, back on...... display wouldnt even come on now.... Did this for 5 mins... Just about to kick it. Took the seat off , checked the battery connections. they were fine.
Seat back on . turned key..... started...!!!! dont know why it did this.

Any ideas????
