Starting problem theory.

That is a different issues and more or less rules out the Ignition Switch and looks more like a wiring issue or a diode gone in the starting cut-off relay. I have seen fellows blow these when they did not know what they were doing .

Might be worth while changing the Starting cut-off relay, they are used in the FZ6, FZ1, FZ8, R6 and R1 so should be common enough and cheapish.

The part number is 5VK-81950-40

What is the under seat code of your bike? it is probably 3C37 something or 3C3A something. This will determin if it is Local or Foreign  :lol

Thanks Unfazed, another worthy option.....especially if it is cheap....so that's the thingie that should be near the battery somewhere...a quick google indicates a unit with a fuse either side.

I think on my next run out i'll stop pulling the clutch just to make sure that the problem manifests again and then order one of these. 8)
