It was getting to that point and that was the next thing i would have done, but a good clean is all it needed for now!

Nice work, I was thinking if you could roll start it then it pointed to the starter button

I narrowed it down the starter switch not engaging so decided to pull the switch apart and have a look.

Got a microscopic allen key and a big deep breath and blew inbetween the spring which seperates the 2 connectors. lots of dust flew out and use the allen key to scrap all the gunk off.

Give it a whirll...... BANG off she goes!
So starter button was just blocked and corrided with dust and crap!

Close thread thanks!


:kuda: Awesome Nick glad the Z1000 has sprung back to life again

how typical as soon as the bike is going again it decides to rain and make the roads all nice and greasey! Oh well still going for a ride anyway!!

That wasn't rain. It was just the sun sweating. ;)
