    Hi guys
    After my first blast in anger on blade on Saturday only got it in November
    Found a intermittent problem after riding and switching bike off when go to start it won't start and can't hear the fuel pump priming a quick flick of the kill switch on and off sorts it out
    As I said doesn't happen all the time
    Thinking a new kill switch needed ? Have checked the connections and all seem fine
    Bike only has 1600 miles it

    Any ideas if it's summit else chaps

    If needing a new kill switch how much am I looking at had thought about contacting Yorkshire gooner on here to see if he had any and what price was looking at

    Many thanks
    Brian

    yorkshiregooner will have one, and I don't think it'll be that expensive.

    How do you turn the bike off? with the kill switch? or key? if with the kill switch, try only using the key for a bit until it happens again. if it doesn't happen again then buy yourself a new kill switch. If it does happen when using the key then it's not the kill switch and I have just saved you 20 odd pounds or so :D :D but we'll have to look further.

    Hi skippy
    Always use the key for on and off very rarely use kill switch but my thinking it was kill switch is that when I switch it off and on puts the problem right

    Cheers

    Drown the switch in contact spray or WD40, normally works a treat

    If the bike has been sat for the winter it may have some corrosion/moisture inside, open it up and have a look.
