Ah, I see, well it could just be that the contacts in the ignition are corroded. Does the bike spend much time open to the elements?

Try spraying some WD40 into the ignition lock and switching it back and forth (on and off) lots.

Do all the lights come on, it just doesn’t turn over?? If they do, is it possible that he just shorted the starter solenoid out to make the starter motor turn?? If this is the case then it is probably faulty wiring to the starter solenoid , perhaps not the ignition itself burnt out.

If the lights come on, then you can short the starter yourself. Do you know what the starter solenoid looks like?

Hello...thanks for your reply.

Bike is garaged and kept undercover whilst at work so no, it doesn't get much weather at it.

Also, there was nothing at all when the key was turned - no lights, Fuel pump, nothing.

Hopefully I'm gonna get someone to look at it this weekend (fingers crossed) so I will post the outcome. Don't really want to go back to Dealership as I have no faith in them whatsoever - I'm sure theyr'e top mechanics but they are under constant pressure to get the jobs cleared as quickly as possible

No-one got any ideas on this problem.....any thoughts would be really appreciated before it goes to the mechanics on Tuesday ?
