I had the same problem with mine last year and it was the kill switch. Here’s the cheap cure that I used. Go to Radio Shack and pick up a can of electronic contact cleaner. This stuff does a VERY nice job of taking off tarnish and corrosion on contacts WITHOUT leaving any residue behind. It’s made specifically for switches and relays, runs about $10 a can but well worth it in the long run. One can will last you 5 years. You can also use the contact cleaner with a q-tip on lighting connectors, cleans them up so your lights don’t go intermittent on you. A: Had a similar problem, I stopped for lunch and when I came out it wouldn’t start. Turns out a pin at the computer had come loose. Every check I did said it was fine so I went and bought a parts bike and tried the computer, no go. Took harness apart wire by wire and pinched everyone tight, plugged it in and bike started right up. TP A: Check your junction box as mentioned elsewhere in the FAQ. david@kz1300.
