[QUOTE="Glenfruin, post: 1453729, member: 98843"] Agree with you bet the fact that the twice it didn’t start all it took was a movement of the side stand to get it started? But I am stumped as to why it was cranking if it was a side stand issue it wouldn’t have cranked at all very strange… I wonder if the side stand switch was shorting somehow but allowing it to crank it doesn’t make sense to me either, I was hoping this had happened to someone else on here but it looks life I’m the only one It’s worrying me in case it happens when I’m far from home and get stuck. I think it’s a case of stripping off the side stand etc and see if any thing obvious. I only bought the bike last weekend and I doubt tge previous owner would admit to it happening to him. I have read some posts on here about the starter spinning and not starting due to petrol washing off the cylinder oil and losing compression fingers crossed I can figure it out if anyone can shine a light on this I would appreciate it cheers guys and gals [/QUOTE]
