Default Laugh at me for I am stupid!

I gave the Tiger a thorough strip and clean yesterday so I could ACF 50 it up for the coming salty season.

Took the bike out this afternoon, rode it onto the drive and smothered it in the purple protector.

Then, went to start it to warm the metalwork which makes the ACF spread. Bike wouldn't start, wouldn't show a neutral light, no priming sounds, nothing.

Fuses ; check

Clutch switch; strip and check.

Side stand switch; strip and check.

Check gearbox electrical conectors; all ok

Remove battery to reset ECU and dash, nothing.

Find Triumph book; check, no help.

Sit swearing at bike; check

Take key out, put it back in in the vain hope I was doing it wrong; check

Swear some more; check!

realise I had knocked the kill switch...




swearing continued for quite some time; check.
