So there I was, thought I would adjust my clutch cable play this afternoon, playing away and getting myself in a puzzle ( I know.please don't mock me to much ! ) and the bike wont start ! The battery seems to be low, the bike isn't turning over ( it's trying but obviously hasn't got the power req ) and when I put the head lights on ful beam the digital display goes blank.

The question is , I know on the K3 that the clutch needs to be pulled in for the engine to start so could I have buggered this up by adjusting the clutch ??

And sods law, borrowed my charger to a mate two weeks ago for his bike and can't get hold of him t the moment ! Oh well, will be going to the pub soon to have a few drinks

Thanks,

Glenn

The clutch switch wouldn't allow the engine to turn over, so it's not that. Is it chugging or clicking on the starter? Definately sounds electrical...

Cheers Northwind, can't believe I couldn't do such a simple job without something going wrong

Will try the bike again later to see if there's any charge left.

The big question is the noise it's making when you're trying to start... A total flat/near total flat just gets clicks instead of the sound of the engine trying to start...
