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

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