Unhappy Bike wont start

Hiya

After my bike fell off its stand last week it has been waiting patiently in my garage until i got all the bits I needed to fix it.

After getting my gear change lever today I thought I'd take her for a little spin but when I tried to start her up.........nothing

Now I know the battery is ok cos its been on a trickle charge

When I press the starter button the word "CHEC" comes up on the dashboard. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks

Neil

first thing i'd do is wiggle the kill switch a few times - i know of a few bikes on here, including mine, that suffer from this occasionally. Otherwise you'll need to put it in dealer mode to find the fault code.

1) In Gear
2) Kill Switch
3) Clutch switch/ side stand switch
4) Tilt Switch

All I can think of for now....

Check the clutch lever switch.. if it's been down on it's left hand side, it may have moved slightly, or be broken maybe....

Plus one - would check wiring on clutch 1st... then side stand.

Tilt switch stops the engine if the bike is dropped (& that's the extent of my knowledge!) but unless it's moved somehow it should be fine.

After checking all those i'd say fuses next, just in case the drop damaged or dislodged one a bit?
