 to hear that this happened after we all went seperate ways on sunday ..you have got my number now so if you get stuck again give us a call As said possible battery is loosing its ability to hold a sufficent charge and listening to yours starting at Newlands it did seem to have a hesitant moment which is either battery ( seems that a few cbr's have similar issues ) or the starter motor is needing a clean and draining the battery quickly Does the bike start if jump leads are used if it fails to start as normal ? or possible ideas to check first main cable connector/main fuse ( possible located on the starter solenoid ) has a loose terminal that when cold makes a sufficent contact but after a while when used it expands slightly with the heat etc and then this creates the problem of no power . if happens again and possible to do so try this .... make sure bike is out of gear and bridge the two solenoid terminals with a jump lead ( or normall used is a screwdriver or spanner ) to see if the battery will operate the starter itself and turn the bikes engine over ( if so you know that the problem lies with the electrics ) if it doesnt turn over then i would suspect the battery ... this can be pinpointed by attaching a seperate charged battery using jump leads and trying again using similar method and if it works now then no power is coming from your battery ... if still no work then its a cable/starter issue Cannot see it being Kill switch or starter switch as this would not cut all power and in reality if ignition switch was playing up it would be a bit more hit a bump or play with keys etc it would falter Ideas for bumping Try and use natural landscape features ( hills and even drop kerb sections ) o your advantage Make sure the area you are trying to start in is safe enough ( not high traffic) and a good surface ( not gravel/loose ) If possible turn the lights off make sure choke is on if it is needed before you start running start in 2nd or 3rd gear and get as much speed up as you can before you release the clutch ( put it in gear and hold clutch in before you start running/being pushed ) or you can make a small set of jump leads that will allow you to get a jump start ....and do not take up a lot of room to carry with you If battery is not accessible get a lead made up with a connecter similar to an optimate connecter fitted and attact it to the bike and battery in an accessible spot and then another cable( at least a metre and a half in length ) made up with the connecting connector and two crocodile clips ( i used to use a system similar to this using 16Amp cable and thsi succesfully started either my zzr600 and various other large capacity bikes as well as smaller cc ) that allows you to connect to a suitable battery ( car/other bike etc) ( or if battery is easy to get to then just attach crocodile clips to both ends )and as the cable is small it is possible to coil it up and store it in small spaces on the bike ( under seat etc ) if jumpstarting make sure that if from a car then the car is not running when doing this do not allow the vehicles to touch as this will result in lots of sparks and risk of damge to paintwork etc as it will cause the bodywork to act as the earth cable if using the above cables do not operate the starter for prolonged periods ( maximum 5/6 seconds ) as they are not designed to take that much and will overheat if used for too long but they are handy for emergencies etc ) but in reality you should not operate the starter for any long period of time anyway also if a connecter like optimate etc is fitted means you can connect a battery charger over night easier etc

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
