Unfortunately just had a phone call from the guy coming out who's just after telling me that he's not a bike mechanic and can only do jump starts.

Lets hope that works or i'll have to get back on to them and get them to send someone who knows what they're doing. Hope its fixed by tomo. Dont much fancy takin the cage to Skerries. I'd carry the helmet with me though to at least look the part.

Im sure youve got it sorted .But here are some tips for again.
One thing to remember if no start is
Is it fuel or fire .
No fuel or no fire ( spark) no start.
Check a plug for spark by screwing it out and reconnecting the lead and touching it off an earth.Look for a spark on the plug.Dont dart yourself.
A good tip is to clean the plugS and if theyre not wet ( the fuel bit) then inject some petrol direct on to the head using a suringe. when you hit the start button you will get a fire up.Maybe enough to kick the engine into life.
Worked for me anyway.
