No Starty

Hello Gentlemen (Ladies) it's been a while
I've had an issue for a wee while but managed to get around it?
I went out today and the scoot will not start.....
A few times before I've had to wiggle the handlebars whilst holding the brake lever and start button, after a while it would find a spot where it would start (Is there a sensor/switch on the bars)
I was told when I got this the start procedure was 1: Grab Front Brake lever 2: Turn bars fully to left hand (tight) 3: Push start button, is this correct?

However today nothing? lights are on battery is good, but it's as dead as a doornail
Can any of you fine people shed any light
I have also tried to remove the handlebar cover to see if there's a switch of any kind that may be dead, I'm even struggling to get this off? I 'm sure I've removed all the fastenings?

Thanks in advance for any advice offered........msport.JPG

Can't help with relay switches. Never had that issue so I've never researched it. But I must say, I am scratching my head at "turn bars fully to left hand" for starting. I've owned three GT's and a dozen motorcycles and never heard of this.

Gotcha. Hey, I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. When my buddy's uncle challenged me at 19 to balance a coin on my forehead then drop it into a funnel tucked in my pants, I tried -- never thinking the whole point was to pour beer down the funnel into my pants, which he did.

Well Problem solved (y)

Turns out the wiring has been rubbing and bared a few wires :(


I got an "Ouch" meter on the micro switches and they were OK , so I dug a little deeper

So me turning the bars now and again would stretch and maybe help make a connection?

Got there in the end :giggle:
