So riding around today after the indicators/headlight fix, everything was working fine for an hour or two then at 50-60mph the bike cut out. I rolled it to a stop and tried to start it again and it started again but as soon as I revved it it died and after that the starter would turn but the engine wouldn't fire.
Also when the key is turned on I noticed the fuel pump now doesn't make the priming sound.
So I checked previous posts on here and there was info about the kill switch, so I did one of the suggested checks and I turned the key and looked for the engine check light but it doesn't come on and the fuel pump noise doesn't sound either but the starter will turn but no firing up.
I then preceded to play with the kill switch to see if I could get it to fire with it being a loose connection and I'm now at the stage where the fuel pump doesn't prime and the starter won't turn over either (and the engine check light doesn't illuminate).
Would the kill switch failing kill the connection to the fuel pump but still allow me to turn the starter? As I would have thought it would be all or nothing?
