As it says, starter won't do anything from the start button, spins OK when fed direct feed.
Fuses OK.
Struggling with only 2 hands to check continiuity when button pushed as wife is out!
Any thoughts appreciated.
Cheers
Gareth

i might be wrong but i though the side stand switch doesnt stop thge engine from turning over or starting, it just makes the bike cut out as soon as its in gear with the stand down

true i was just thinking it may be in gear. my bet is the clutch switch. mine went and was a pain. undo the plug on the back of the switch and stick a piece of wire in the connector to bridge the contacts then see it it turns over.
