    My bike won't start!! I haven't started it for about 3 weeks and I had it cleaned by Nooj last week. Maybe it's a bit damp from that? It's turning over but not firing, battery was ok (til I flattened it!) and is now on charge! I have sprayed some WD 40 on plugs but still no go. Will put a heater on in the garage but has anyone got any ideas that I can try or if anyone is close enough maybe they could come round, cup of tea in it for you!!
    It's all about the ride!

    It's been Noooojed ;D

    Is it turning over (is the battery OK) or does it turn over slowly ?
    If it's turning over OK (just as usual) may be water somewhere in the electrics Rosie - although what I know about bike (or any other for that matter) mechanics is next to nothing !
    Hope Colin or some other Guru can help.
    Will call you later on this afternoon to check all is OK.

    It's been Noooojed Grin You're right Gerry, it certainly has!!

    The battery was fine (until I flattened it!!). It's on charge now! It was turning over ok just not firing!

    Water shouldn't affect it, the stuff I spray on is a water dispersant.

    Weird :-?

    Sometimes I knock the kill switch when cleaning the switch-gear without realising, that catches people out who think I've broken their bike ;D

    Good news. Could be damp somewhere.
