Had a bit of an issue this morning. Bike wouldn't start on a few attempts, tried the killswitch (wasn't that) tried turning off the ignition and going again (didn't work) and then rolled it forward a few steps and it started.
Started absolutely fine this afternoon after work...
Any ideas? Battery is fine afaik and was using it 12h earlier so won't have been flat.

This is a video of it (few failed starts before this as well) you can see the light dim when I push the button.

EDIT: Not sure that link is right, video here: https://youtu.be/CkQk7TVmaZM

Probably just the wet then. Due to being in London it goes straight under a cover when I get home and i got soaked on the way home yesterday.

Phew.
 
Will give that a go either tomorrow or Monday. Hoping it was just moisture somewhere! Will grab some wd40 and get that into all of the areas that affect the ignition circuit.
 
Cheers IC3. Never used the YouTube handles before.

And thanks Wazza, WD40d all the cut out points now. Started fine again today, phew.
