Default Pointy won't start

Yeah use mine on 4 but the switch isn't used at all lol

So far no joy on ride plans this weekend and I may have to save some money on fuel as I am going to be out the next 2 weekends on the trot.

Anyway thanks to all who said it would be the switch, feel like a complete knob!
I did exactly the same thing. Bought a used pointy, saw the previous owner start it up, we drove it onto trailer. I took it home (4hrs of bumping on crappy Michigan highways), couldn't wait to start it. Nothing. Not a peep. Tried everything, including jump starting, bump starting, the works. Turned out a strap on the trailer had pulled the plug off under the clutch lever. Felt like a dunce. You are not alone
