Hi,

I've been having a few issues recently where the starter doesn't work until I switch off and back on a few times, either the ignition or the stop switch. It varies - Monday morning it needed several tries, Monday on the way home just two, then at the petrol station it took 1/2 a dozen attempts. This morning it just needed one.

There's no error indication and the bike makes it's normal noises when the FI initialises. It's just that pressing the starter button has no effect other then to switch headlights off.

Anyone experienced anything similar?

I'm hoping to be able to check along the circuit in the next few days, but if there's anything that's easy to check it would be good to start there.
