Hey guys,
I went to crank my CB1100 yesterday and it wouldn't start. The lights and gauges work, but nothing happens when I hit the start button. I didn't hear the injectors turn on like they normally do so I'm assuming it's something to do with that. Has anyone else had issues with this?
Thanks

Feasible option, maybe the switch is just faulty or a loose connection

I'm betting the switch was inadvertently tripped. Would cause those exact symptoms.

I've been guilty of that. Or, could be a battery giving you hints that it's on the way out.

Try flipping the kill switch on-off multiple times. Mine is sometimes tricky.
