Default Non starting bike.

So I've finished work I get out of the car park and the bike stops. No warning. All electrics work apart from the starter button.

Kill switch? If not can you try a bump?

Did it make any noises when it stopped?

All battery connections still on and snug?

A favourite for this the clutch switch connector coming adrift. Not the only reason it can happen, but easily checked.

Do you have an adjustable clutch lever?
May sound strange, but I have short levers, and if my clutch adjuster is set on 1 or 2 it won't engage the clutch switch and the bike won't start (because of the slight dog leg shape I believe).
