    Well basically when I fitted my rollers the spring for the kick start came out...
    We could not get it back in so I just took the it out. (Yes silly I know) But the battery is almost new so I didn't think it would matter. But last night I was riding along and went down a bumpy un-made road at a painfully slow speed. It was slower than walking speed, ALOT slower. After I got off of the road I turned it off as I was meeting some one and when I went to turn it on the oil light that normally flickers on didn't and there was nothing on the elcetric start, No noise, No nothing. So I had to push it for 20 mins to my friends house and had to put the kick start back in. It started 1st kick on the kick start but it doesn't come back up because the spring isn't set up properly. So I had to tie it to the base of the rear shock with a bit of rope to get home with. :emb: Does any one have any ideas what it could be? I thought it might of been the HT lead come off but it started 1st time on the kick start. Could it be a wire come loose some where? Or could it be the ignition barrell?
    Thanks. Conor
