Hi all,
I started my bike tonight and all of a sudden the whole thing died on me, no lights, engine stopped. I fiddled with the ignition key - no response. After pushing it back uphill into my back yard, I saw that the clock needles were going up and down ny about a quarter of an inch with a buzzing sound.
I put the key in and turned it a couple of times then the buzzing stopped and the red key security light came back on. I started it up again and it died again. After repeating the fiddling with the key, I managed to get the security mode back on.
Over the last couple of weeks, I experienced a chugging effect like it was misfiring while riding, I had to open the throttle and keep the revs high to keep it going.
Do you think it might be all down to the ignition switch being faulty? If so, is it easy to fit a new one?
Thanks.
