Non-starter

Balls.

Went to start the bike today and the ignition light didn't even come on. I didn't have time to go into it, so I took the car in instead. BUT, I'm going to be sitting at work today brewing about it. I think it's the battery, I may have taken the keys out and the switch may not have been right over or something like that, I didn't flick the kill switch off.

It's been raining and although it's got a cover I thought the damp may have something to do with this as well. Any other ideas on what this could be.

Is anyone interested in a Suzuki GN250 N reg, 16k, £700?

Harold_Shand's theory might be the best explanation.

First stop is the battery as you said, the electrics should still work even if the kill switch off, e.g you should get the neutral light. Winter is a battery killer.

you might have left the parking lights on, i did this a few days after i brought the SV and had to bump start it
