well, the first two were 40 minutes apart...looks like you're right about the second time.

ok, back on topic!

run w/ the bike under you (if you're tall enough)...i.e., push the bike as fast as you can (10 MPH should do it)

QUICKLY!: kick it into 2nd, dump the clutch, and thumb the starter

You may also need to be prepared to work the clutch and the throttle to get the engine going and/or prevent it from stahling, and/or prevent yourself from crashing!

this can also be done on flat ground by yourself but it helps to have a friend push you.

IMHO, everyone should know how to do this for safety reasons.

Next steps...get some frame sliders and post some pictures of the damage.

DI, if the lean angle cutoff switch remains activated you can push it all you want and it will not start (you know this). The switch, which is actually a sensor that sends a signal to the ECU will read between roughly .4 and 1.4vdc if the bike is upright and roughly 3.8 to 4.2vdc if the bike is at a 70+ degree down angle. The nice thing about diagnostic mode is it will give the voltage on the display. If the switch doesn't respond to the bike being brought up it will need to be replaced because it really isn't an off/on switch like the fuel pump cut-off in some cages. This switch has no reset.

If the switch is at fault that's what I would be checking out. Maybe I should read the fine print in the warranty first.

Mine only had .3 on it as well when i took ownership. i saw it roll out of the shop with all 0's and then they took it on a very short test ride since it was 29 degrees F out (must have been too cold for them).

Ya think? I know a couple of folks that won't ride their new bike home. Rather they trailer it due to superstition. I have yet to figure than one out.
