Odd problem/fix - DryRob - 03-06-13
This has happened twice now and I can't work out how the fix got rid of the problem.
Came home from work on the bike tonight and was due back out within half an hour. Went back out, turned ignition on and pressed the starter button and nothing just oil and fuel light coming on with the button. Thought it needed a bump start so gave it a go, nothing. Tried bumping again, still nothing. Bollocks.
Bike back into the garage, multimeter out to test fuses and they're all OK. Must be the starter relay or motor, tested them. Testing suggested the relay was toast so got that out and started looking for another of Fleabay.
Looking over the wiring diagram I noticed I could just bridge the terminals and still use my bike for work so back in the relay went. Ignition on, bridged the relay and the starter motor started going off but the engine still didn't fire. Battery voltage was fine, well it must be the fuel pump or pump relay, where are they then? Back into the house for another read of Haynes and back out to the garage.
Hang on, has the pump been clicking? Turns out it wasn't. I thought, why not try the diagnostic before getting the tank up. I unplugged the TPS turned on the ignition and the fuel pump started going mad. After resetting, the bike started on the button.
Any ideas what caused this and how the fix worked? I wasted a good three hours trying to work out what was wrong and it turns out nothing, it starts fine now.

Myate couldn't get his bike started. He usually does his own maintenance. This wee issue stumped him. Got a guy out. Flick. Sorted. Red face.

Was the bike definitely in neutral gear?

Scrub that, just noticed you tried to bump it. :rolleyes

Definitely kill switch, try it and you will see the same lights come when hitting the start button.
Easy to flick it off by mistake then back on later once you've pulled all your hair out.

I forgot to mention repeatedly checking the kill switch. Thankfully it's running fine again now, i was wondering if anyone has had something like this happen before?
