Hadnt ridden bike from November til beginning of Feb but kept in warm environment & trickle charged battery every 2 weeks.Occasionally ran bike up to temp & started fine every time. Rode 2x in Feb last time 28th & was running/starting ok. Bought bike @ 22000m Aug 2011 now showing 24500m. Have done ALL the service jobs including valve check & replaced fuel filter 12 months ago. Hoses all ok. Battery was new Jan 2012. Having drained tank & float bowls & put fresh petrol in bike would crank over fine but would not fire up apart from the occasional backfire which didnt impress the cat (4 legged not the one in exhaust!)
I got my local dealer to pick up bike on Wed pm. Think I will phone them today & ask them to remove immobiliser anyway-it must be suspect after 10+ years & I dont fancy being marooned when travelling-even with the free recovery on my ins policy! Will let you know what they discover! :rolleyes
