Hope somone can point me in the right direction?? The other week I did a full service on my R1, plugs, filters etc. All has been fine.. Then on saturday came to start her.. All fine on ingition..No faults show up.. Pump primes etc. Press the starter and nothing! First thought, kill switch. Nothing.. Turn it back and try again.. 3rd time she fires fine and is ok all day. Following day the same. Battery is fine. Any Ideas? Thanks

Check your electrics: make sure the battery connections are secure and clean, all connecter blocks are clean and fastened tightly, the fuses are in good condition,the ignition switch contacts are clean and also check the handlebar control switches for gung or corrosion

Something like that will probably be down to the safety interlock e.g. sidestand/clutch/neutral switches. Did you mess about any of them?
